RMTs/MTs may engage in other employment or business activities outside of Massage Therapy practice. This includes roles such as yoga instructor, personal trainer, graphic designer, or retail work.

If RMTs/MTs provide health care services outside of Massage Therapy, they must:

• Clearly separate those services from their Massage Therapy practice
• Maintain professional boundaries between roles;
• Not misrepresent non-massage services as part of Massage Therapy;
• Avoid conflicts of interest that could compromise patient care; and
• Continue to meet professional obligations as an RMT/MT, including:
  • Annual registration renewal;
  • STRiVE participation;
  • Adherence to the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice; and
  • All requirements apply for as long as they hold a General Certificate.
