College of Massage Therapists of Ontario Information

The College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) is the regulatory body that oversees Registered Massage Therapists (RMT/MTs). CMTO is not a school or advocacy organization. We exist to protect the public interest and we do this by: • Setting the requirements for becoming an RMT so that only qualified individuals are allowed to practise and use the protected titles “Massage Therapist” (“MT”) and “Registered Massage Therapist” (“RMT”). • Maintaining an up-to-date tool on our website, known as the public register or “Find an RMT”, to help Ontarians verify whether the person they are visiting for Massage Therapy treatment is registered and qualified to practise. • Developing and enforcing rules and guidelines for RMTs’ practice and conduct, including a Code of Ethics. • Running a Quality Assurance Program to help ensure RMTs keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date. • Receiving and investigating complaints from the public about Massage Therapy care and taking disciplinary action when necessary.
