Our Team

Remo and the entire Board of Directors of the Canadian Sport Massage Therapists Association (CSMTA) collaborated with Dexterity PD to create a comprehensive sport massage program. The program provides manual therapists with the knowledge to safely and effectively provide on-site sport massage to athletes at an event or competition. The content of the entire Certificate Program is comparable to the 1-day CSMTA certification.

The CSMTA is a not-for-profit organization and the only certifying body in Canada for sport massage. Established in 1987, they serve the Canadian athletic community at all levels, from grassroots community athletics to the professional level in provincial, national, and international settings.

The CSMTA promotes a professional climate for the growth of massage therapy in Canadian sport, through education, research, and practice. They establish professional standards for massage in sport within Canada, providing leadership for, and education to, therapists in the field. They educate athletes and the medical community about the importance and benefits of massage therapy in sport.
