The Journal de Montreal is reporting 7000 elementary school students have learned how to massage each other.
The Massage in Schools Association's Quebec chapter reportedly teaches students between 4 and 12-years-old how to help classmates relax.
The students are given 15 minutes to rub the backs, arms and heads of their classmates, while wearing clothes.
Parents have to sign a waiver allowing their children to participate - but no student is ever forced to take the class.
In order to reduce the anxiety around the issue, students choose who they partner up with.
