"Established in 1996, the International Federation of Registered Equine Massage Therapists (IFREMT) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting the highest standards in equine massage therapy. The primary aim of the IFREMT is to support the provision of safe, ethical and qualified equine massage therapy services within the equine industry.
The IFREMT does not provide education or training in equine massage, but rather sets the standards of qualification required to become a Registered Equine Massage Therapist (REMT) and maintains standards of practice and professional ethics for our registered members. We hold accreditation exams once a year, which include both a written component, and a practical component that is overseen by a supervising veterinarian. Though equine massage is not a regulated profession like human massage therapy is in many provinces and states, the IFREMT strives to apply the same level of qualification standards to our accreditation process as those established by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario – the governing body for Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in Ontario.
Registered Equine Massage Therapists have the same level of training and education as RMT’s (Registered Massage Therapists) that are licensed to work on people. Distinct from “certification” or other bodywork titles, the REMT designation is conferred to those who have completed an accreditation process which mirrors the requirements in the human field of massage."
"The IAAMB/ACWT {International Association of Animal Massage and Bodywork / Association of Canine Water Therapy} was created to meet the need for an organization that establishes professionalism within animal massage and bodywork practices, with scopes of practice and codes of conduct, setting the standard for responsible, professional behaviour. It fulfills a need for the place where people interested in learning about specific animal massage and bodywork practices and the legalities affecting them can go for assistance, support and guidance.
The IAAMB/ACWT is an organization that was created to stay aware of and help in bringing reasonableness to impending restrictive local and national legislation affecting our members’ practices.
In 2009, the IAAMB welcomed the Association of Canine Water Therapy into its fold."
