The Practice Profile, Part 2 component of STRiVE’s Risk-Based Assessment, will launch on March 1, 2025.

Registered Massage Therapists/Massage Therapists (RMTs/MTs) who hold a General Certificate of Registration must complete CMTO’s Practice Profile by March 31, 2025.  RMTs/MTs who hold an Inactive Certificate of Registration are not required to complete Practice Profile but can do so if they choose.

Keep an eye out for the latest updates from CMTO about the upcoming Practice Profile requirement.

What can I expect?

Practice Profile will be available via the STRiVE platform. Once you log in to your Registrant Profile, select STRiVE from the menu options, then click the Practice Profile button to begin.

It will take about one hour to complete, and you will have the option to save your progress, should you need to exit and return to it later.

Practice Profile has two sections:

Section 1: Self-Inventory of Risks and Supports

In this section, RMTs/MTs answer questions about their risks and supports to competence. Upon its completion, RMTs/MTs receive a personalized feedback report to help them be mindful of their potential risks and available supports to their practice. RMTs/MTs are required to respond as honestly as possible to receive the most valuable and personalized feedback. Responses remain confidential and are for personal use only.

Section 2: Standards of Practice Quiz

In this section, RMTs/MTs answer case scenario questions about the select Standards of Practice and Regulations. Once submitted, RMTs/MTs receive a score on their performance, including answers and explanations to the quiz questions.

How should I prepare?

RMTs/MTs can prepare for success by reviewing the 2025 select Standards of Practice and Regulations and their associated ‘Spotlights’:
