Every year, for the past 8 years, on the third weekend of September, just before the autumn equinox, thousands of therapists and establishments around the world open their doors to offer fun and free activities. This weekend is a unique opportunity to showcase and offer fitness sessions, yoga, outdoor activities, relaxation, and massage workshops with friends, colleagues, or family.
With 5,000 practitioners in alternative and complementary medicine under one banner, Groupe RITMA is the largest association of professionals in the sector in Quebec. RITMA Group is renowned for its high standards and is proud to represent a community of highly qualified therapists in the field of complementary medicine.
The concept of health is evolving. At the heart of this transformation are alternative and complementary medicines, offering holistic approaches that often complement conventional medical practices.
To elevate the status of massage therapy and underscore its crucial role in holistic health practices, Groupe Ritma is set to make a significant impact at the Massage Therapy Summit in 2024.
Each of the disciplines represented by GROUPE RITMA, Osteopathy, Massage Therapy, Complementary Medicine, Coaching Professions, Naturopathy, is administered individually within distinct associations that establish accreditation criteria specific to each. Each Association is supported by a committee of experts who ensure that the specific needs of each association are met.
The Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) will offer two new graduate programs in osteopathy starting in the fall of 2024.
