44 P.S.A. MTAM Public Service Announcement: Hot & Cold Tx

45 Issues in the Manitoba Market! No provincial legislation / regulation of massage therapy practice anyone can provide massage therapy! Competitive market place - massage therapy being provided by under-qualified practitioners (e.g., estheticians, holistic practitioners, massage certificate holders), and by other health professionals who also provide massage (e.g., PT, AT). Massage therapy coverage through private health plans who & what is covered, fraud prevention, $$$, etc. Limited public protection lack of title protection, complaints process, ethics, practice standards, etc.

46 Issues in the Manitoba Market Massage Parlour & Massagist licensing issues Income tax deductibility for massage therapy treatments Elimination of the GST on massage therapy treatments Professional relationships with MDs, PTs, etc. (Rx/referral) RMTs & Acupuncture, Laser Therapy, Lymphedema Therapy Advertising scope of practice issues, potentially misleading content (e.g., testimonials), internet coupons

47 The MTAM Does Research 42% of Manitoba adults reported having been to a Massage Therapist at some point. 27% reported having been to a Massage Therapist in the last 12 months. Women are more likely than men (52% vs. 30%) to have seen a Massage Therapist. 55% reported they had seen a Massage Therapist to address therapeutic needs. 33% reported their visit was to relieve stress. (Little variation across gender, age and other sociodemographic groups.) The single most common response for not going to a Massage Therapist was Never need it (54%) and the second (14%) was Never thought of going! untapped market?

48 Research public views Top of Mind views about Massage Therapy include: relaxation, enjoyment or feeling better (38%). 41% of respondents are strongly convinced that high professional standards are currently in place. 63% felt that Massage Therapy would provide good value for the money, with this figure climbing to 86% when the views of those who actually used the services were examined in isolation from non users. 85% of Manitobans would be more likely to consider availing themselves of the services of a massage therapist if they were legislated.

49 Committees do Research! Pacific Blue Cross reported that the percentage paid by their paramedical category in their plans for 2006 was: Massage Therapy 37% Physiotherapy 24% Chiropractic 22% (Almost $18 Million expended on Massage Therapy!) (Manitoba percentages are similar.)
