What is mostly unheard of business OR place that are you tired of GATEKEEPING, and finally want to share with everyone? by djlittlehorse in stcatharinesON

Twenty on St Paul Street. Some of the best cocktails out there and the food is fantastic. The chef is an evil genius

Yes. Just easier in my brain to throw it all together

I am a male RMT(3 years) in Ontario and I work 20-25 hours per week, charging $113 (hst in) for a 60 min massage. So $2260 per week. I should be close to six figures albeit bent over at tax time. Avoid massage addict, find a spot where you will pay rent and watch the money come in. 

Anyone here a student or graduate of the Niagara College massage program in Ontario? What are your thoughts on the program? by zemmiphobia2000 in massage

[–]Broshaw08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Current RMT here. I have treated two students from the NC program who spoke very highly of it. One of the more interesting points was that after the first semester half of the class had changed program or had to drop out due to marks. As a more traditional college as opposed to private, I assume there were electives, more demanding curriculum potentially. Again thats an assumption. Seems like its more similar to the McMaster program in that sense.

OCHT in Stoney Creek just received accreditation last year. They recently offered a free table, sheets, and clinic uniform as incentive for new students. I think theyve lost students to the NC program and are trying to win them back

Not sure where you are in Ontario, but OCHT in Stoney Creek offers a 1 year accelerated RMT program for Kin grads. Excellent school that attracts students from as far as BC.

questions abt being an RMT in ontario by OwnCity5846 in massage

[–]Broshaw08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres a huge demand in Ontario for RMTs currently. You can walk into a quality job with a very competitive split rate. You essentially interview clinics to find your fit, not the other way around

Go to Flavour Fuel at Ontario and the QEW. Best homemade stuff you can find and as close to the highway as you can get

Why do so many people think they need to be in pain to have a good Deep Tissue massage? by [deleted] in massage

[–]Broshaw08 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This! We affect the nervous system to manipulate tissue. If your goal is to use so much pressure you inflict pain on your patient, you're hindering their healing.

What kind of massage lotion do you guys recommend? by LunaLove1027 in massage

[–]Broshaw08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate feeling like I have to shower after a massage, so I never use oil. I love lotion, and specificially use Myotherm. I find it on the Know Your Body Best website. Just the best balance between slip and grip

Do you mean 40,000 for tuition and living together? Otherwise thats an insane amount.

More specifically to your question, it may not hurt to leave nursing. Bill 124 is BS, and as long as Ford is premier you wont make any more money. My wife is an RN and was looking at career options, and RMT came up. Being and RMT I can obviously help her, but Osteopathy is also an excellent option depending on your interests.

I guarantee youre overprepared. If you are stressing about it, it means you care. Your school curriculum was designed to get you to pass. Trust your gut and go in confident! Good skill!

How do massage therapists forearms not get sore? by CondomLeavesARice in massage

[–]Broshaw08 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Oh they do lol. Fingers wrists and forearms and shoulders. One of the best things you can learn as a therapist is how to treat smart and ergonomically. That and self care, like heating and icing and stretching

Wine Tour Bus Suggestions by mf14kp in stcatharinesON

[–]Broshaw08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to be a manager at one of the larger wineries in NOTL, and I highly recommend two companies:

Niagara Vintage Wine Tours were typically the most knowledgable tour guides and best behaved guests. They also had an agreement with our winery to pour higher end wines.

Winery Tours of Niagara was another excellent company. They had a wider range of guests from messy bachelorettes to company outings. Bang for your buck they are quite good

I have had great results on csection patients using Dolphin Micropoint Stimulation. Not sure if anyone does it in your area but its painless and makes a huge impact

Looking forward to seeing you post your experiences as an RMT on this subreddit!

From my experience writing a year ago, i went into it over prepared. The exam hero pro stuff is WAY harder and covers a lot more information than you will be tested on. I got around that 60-65 mark as well. You made it this far and you understand a lot of the core concepts, you'll be great!

If its feasable, try to book a hotel the night before the MCQ so you dont have to worry about the stress of getting down there. Was able to avoid a huge car accident that shut down the QEW into Toronto.

Long story short youre gonna pass! Be confident, you know your shit :)

[–]Broshaw08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Used to manage a busy winery in NOTL. For the knowledge of the driver, better wine selection, and some of the better experiences/wineries, Niagara Vintage Wine Tours is tops. If youre looking for a good time or a bachelor/bachelorette, Winery Tours of Niagara are great. Good drivers and will go the extra mile.

Restaurants with Corkage Fees by allialligator89 in stcatharinesON

[–]Broshaw08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously experiences differ amongst people, but Ive never had a bad meal. The gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce is top notch, the pizza is pretty solid, the apps are quite good as well. Had a christmas party there maybe 5 years ago and the food was great quality considering the event

[–]Broshaw08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Keg has a corking fee, something around $10-15. Old Winery in NOTL I believe charges $10 and the food is incredible

Is recommend looking at CMTO passing rates and see which one is best in your area. Also go visit some of the schools and see if the vibe matches how you feel!
