Short Term Alternative Training Measures (COVID-19)
Dear Students:
COVID-19
Since learning of the outbreak of COVID-19, the health and well-being of all Ontarians has been our top priority. As this issue has evolved, the Superintendent of MTCU-Private Career College has decided to allow us to accommodate students by offering classroom program via online, distance, or other alternative methods of instruction on a temporary basis. (Please refer to the E-mail dated March 17, 2020 and the letter from the Director of your program).
We understand that many people are becoming increasingly concerned about their health and well-being during this difficult time. We have decided to temporary move our training to online for the period from March 23, 2020 to April 6, 2020 or to the date with the notification by local public health officer that there is no continuing risk to students of contracting COVID-19 by attending their classes.
We encourage you to check following websites to stay informed by regularly reviewing credible sources of information:

BODY MECHANICS - Extending your Career
The secret to their long life in the profession is proper BODY MECHANICS!!!!
This course is approved by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario for 3.75 Category A Continuing Education credits.
You love your career as a Massage Therapist! You have a good practice and it's growing all the time. You love helping people to improve health, function and relaxation. The only concern is whether your own body is going to hold out. You may already be experiencing muscle pain or signs of repetitive strain syndrome.
We know that many therapists drop out of the profession before their fifth year of practice, and we assume that some of these drop-outs are because of work-related injury or pain. However, if we look at the CMTO statistics, we also see that there are many therapists who have been working for ten, fifteen or even more than twenty-five years!
Instructor: Lee Kalpin RMT, has been in active practice since 1984, a career of 31 years – so far!
In this one-day workshop she will teach you to stand and move in ways that will make doing massage much easier on your body, and will prevent injury to your hands, arms, shoulders, and back.
