Interveners and Therapists Group in Alternative and Complementary Medicine
The associations
Each of the disciplines represented by GROUPE RITMA is administered individually within distinct associations that establish their own accreditation criteria. Each association is supported by a committee of experts who ensure that the specific needs of each association are met.
Our accreditation process is one of the most stringent in the industry and includes systematic verification of graduation and prior learning assessment.
who are we
Our mission : To actively promote alternative and complementary medicine
Our commitment : To accompany our members at every moment towards excellence.
RITMA GROUP
Created in 2004 and known as the RITMA Association until 2021, the RITMA GROUP is committed to promoting all forms of alternative and complementary medicine such as massage therapy, orthotherapy, physiotherapy, naturopathy and osteopathy, as well as support and brief therapies.
In Quebec, since most complementary medicines are not yet legislated, one of our mandates is to supervise and structure the disciplines in order to protect the public and the members. It is also to defend the interests of the members, by supporting them in their professional development, to make representations to the authorities of the ecosystem such as the Office des professions and the various levels of government for the recognition of its professionals.
