CMTO is one of 26 health regulators established by the Ontario Government. These health regulators ensure Ontarians receive safe, effective, and ethical care from qualified healthcare professionals.

The Work of CMTO

Here are some ways CMTO works to make sure you receive quality care:

1. Initial registration: ensuring all accepted applicants meet the educational requirements and other necessary qualifications to be a Registered Massage Therapist/Massage Therapist (RMT/MT).

2. Continuous quality assurance: administering an annual Quality Assurance Program to ensure RMTs/MTs keep their knowledge and skills current.

3. Overseeing conduct: CMTO addresses concerns or complaints about RMTs/MTs and takes disciplinary action when necessary.

4. Maintaining the public register: providing an up-to-date list of practising RMTs/MTs on its website, known as the “Find an RMT” tool, to help Ontarians verify whether the person they are visiting for Massage Therapy is in fact registered, qualified, and authorized to practise.
