Oct. 26, Edmonton, Alta. – The Canadian Sport Massage Therapy Association (CSMTA) annual conference, held in Edmonton, Alta., from Oct. 22-24, was defined by topics that extended beyond the walls of the massage therapy clinic to redefine the RMT’s role in the broader spectrum of the health-care system.

Although the themes covered by the event’s informative and experienced speakers encompassed a variety of techniques through didactic and hands-on workshops, the broader message had more to do with the far-reaching potential that massage therapy can have in the lives and careers of a variety of athletes, as well as in the well-being and health care of the general public.

The CSMTA 2010 Conference Banquet, held on the Saturday night, featured well-known, award-winning athletes from a wide range of sports disciplines, all of whom spoke of the benefits they had gleaned from working with a massage therapist throughout their careers.

The organizing committee for the event, headed by Kip Petch, more than succeeded in their endeavour to provide attendees an interdisciplinary, well-rounded learning experience – they also furnished an opportunity for RMTs to network with colleagues while attaining practical skills for use in their clinics.
