Massage Therapist Association of Alberta Information

The Massage Therapist Association of Alberta (MTAA) is proudly synonymous with the Massage Therapy profession in Alberta, serving as a flagship for Alberta Massage Therapists who believe in the importance of providing quality Massage Therapy care to the Alberta public. MTAA members are confident, inspired health professionals who are dedicated to patient centred care and practicing throughout the province of Alberta. Since 1953, the MTAA has been a provincially focused, non-profit organization exclusively representing Massage Therapists - a continual challenge that has proven itself to yield positive change and ever expanding growth. Once considered only a ‘fringe’ therapy, Massage Therapy is now the most widely accessed Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) in Canada, with 1.5 Billion Dollars being spent annually on Massage Therapy in Canada. As one of the founding members of the Canadian Massage Therapist Alliance (CMTA), the MTAA continues to support the advancement of the profession both provincially and nationally.
