CMTO: Who We Are

April 2024

CMTO is the regulatory body that oversees Registered Massage Therapists (or RMTs/MTs) working in Ontario. CMTO is not a school or an organization that advocates on behalf of RMTs. We exist to protect the public interest.

We do this by:

  • Ensuring that Massage Therapy graduates have the right skills and knowledge before becoming an RMT. We also do this through rigorous testing and education requirements.
  • Maintaining an up-to-date online register, 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, Standards of Practice, and expectations for RMT’s practice and conduct.
  • Running a Quality Assurance Program called “STRiVE” to ensure RMTs keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date.
  • Addressing concerns or complaints about Massage Therapy care and taking disciplinary action when necessary.
