2020/03/19

We invited Nina to our office for an Unprofessional Hour which happened to be the day that the CMTO sent us all the email saying we should halt any non-essential Massage Therapy treatments. With all of the panic and uncertainty already going on in the world, and the new panic and uncertainty that was about to come from thousands of self-employed, small business owners shutting their doors, we thought we needed some good ol' light hearted banter about the ridiculous life of RMTs to bring forth some

Have you ever had to tell a client that you could no longer be their therapist? We had a RMT reach out to us because of this exact situation. We hadn’t really had much experience in discharging clients for reasons other than they no longer needed treatments from us or issues were beyond our scope of practice, so we wanted to have this discussion. Under what circumstances can you discharge a client and what is the proper way to do so? Our guest shares a story about a client interaction that made her

Ali grew up in clinic environments and had a very good grasp of how a successful clinic functions when she decided to open her own multidisciplinary clinic. The problem quickly became evident to Ali that none of the existing online software had all of the capabilities that she

We haven't done one of these in awhile, so when Kurt said he wanted to say back after his treatment and rap with us we jumped at the opportunity. We have made reference to Kurt many times in other episodes, and now you get to hear from man himself. Listen in as we talk about something and nothing all at the same time. We reminisce about past shenanigans, Kurt’s education and career, relive the day Amanda and Kurt met, saving lives on vacation, death of loved ones, and the passing of one of our

I hope you all love our nonsense as much as we do! We had Amy on our couch to talk about her life as a RMT. What we didn’t anticipate was that Amy is an actor and that’s fascinating! Truth be told this podcast talks much more about life as an actor than life as a RMT but we did throw a little massage talk in here! Listen to us talk about auditions, sitting in a room with a bunch of people who look exactly like you, why Brad Pitt can do no wrong, and a little about dealing with clients who no show,

Dom is a brand new Massage Therapist in Northern Ontario- like fresh outta school, super green- Mark even said he’s still in pull-ups kinda new! He sent us a message to come on the podcast to talk about his experiences in school, and his decision to go out on his own rather than taking a clinic job fresh out of school because he couldn’t find a place that he felt he fit. This concept intrigued us because we are huge believers in there being a place for us all in the marketplace and if you can’t find

Do you work as an employee or as a self-employed contractor? Are you sure about that? We had Chris on our couch to talk about the misclassification of RMTs in the workplace according to CRA guidelines. Often times, it’s easier for both the clinic owner and the therapists to enter into a contractual relationship where the therapists are classified as subcontractors in the business. But that means that the therapists themselves are a business. As it turns out, even when the intention was a business to
