After creating the first massage therapy clinic in Quebec in 1964 and rich in European training as a massage therapist, Yves Paré founded in 1976 the Scientific Massage Academy in the heart of Quebec. His daughter Huguette joined him in 1979 first as a student, then as a teacher and director. The mores being epoch-making, they face the difficulties of pioneers which, in the case of massage therapy, were daunting.

FIRST STRUCTURED MASSAGE THERAPY COLLEGE
IN QUEBEC

The sex industry using massage as a screen, and the almost total absence of therapeutic massage immersed them in what would become a mission, that of making known and recognized throughout Quebec, the profession of massage therapy and orthotherapy and their benefits.

The Academy of Scientific Massage has spared no effort to make this marvelous profession known to the people of Quebec, who are greatly delighted. Television and radio broadcasts, conferences of all kinds, creation of two avant-garde professional associations, etc. But by far the best asset has been the quality of care and the results obtained in the clinic, which have increased the popularity of the profession.

The craze increases in the 80s and 90s and the profession finally obtains its letters of nobility giving way to a growing interest of the population towards natural care thanks to our many graduates spread across Quebec.

In 1997, the Academy implemented its expansion plan and opened its doors in Terrebonne, then in 2001, in Laval. The Academy then opened a campus in Brossard in 2003 and two other campuses in 2004, one in Quebec and the other in Sherbrooke. It was in 2010 that the Academy moved to Montreal to demonstrate once again that there was a need for qualified professionals in this area. In addition, Montreal was the hub for students from other Canadian provinces as well as Europe.

In September 2014, the Academy successfully launched its innovative, world-class online training. In 2017, after incessant requests from people wishing to become a massage therapist in Trois-Rivières, the opening of a new campus in Trois-Rivières was made official.

Given the changing demographics and the trend of the public to move more towards natural care, the future looks bright for the profession! Other campuses will see the light of day shortly.
