The below answer is inaccurate. A Masseuse or masseur does NOT imply sexual services.

An RMT - Registered Massage Therapist or simply, Massage Therapist, has undergone the training to do massage.

One does NOT require a formal education to do massage legally, they just can not claim to be an RMT.

An RMT is not necessarily any better at their job than an Masseuse. Often skills come with experience and understanding the human body; a 'formal' education isn't required for this.

Often, a non certified Masseuse is refereed to as a 'body-worker' or massage for 'relaxation only'.

Many salons have BOTH RMT and 'body-workers' on staff and having received massages from both types of specialists, I PREFER the NON CERTIFIED.

Learning about the muscles and passing a simple multiple question test does not mean that the person you're trusting is going to be any better than anyone else. It's about experiences, understanding, being in tune, and so on.

Masseur or Masseuse last i checked.

A true massage therapist would be insulted by these names; Certified Massage Therapist or titles similar indicate someone has training and is a professional. The latter implies sexual service.
