Massage Therapy students and recent graduates are often excited to begin practising. However, to properly protect the public interest, individuals must register with CMTO before they practise. This ensures all RMTs/MTs have completed the necessary training and examinations and can be held accountable for their professionalism and behaviour. Clients can lodge complaints with CMTO regarding an RMT’s/MT’s conduct. RMTs/MTs also have professional liability insurance and can provide clients with receipts for reimbursement through their health insurance.

Students and graduates should refer to the Policy: Massage Therapy Graduates/Students Practicing without being Registered for more information on this topic.

For any questions or concerns please contact Registration Services at registrationservices@cmto.com.
