Massage Therapy Association of Manitoba

WHO IS THE MTAM?

The MTAM is an incorporated not-for-profit association of professional massage therapists established as an association in 1973 within the requirements of the Corporations Act of the Province of Manitoba. It conducts its business from professionally staffed offices in Winnipeg. Its geographic area of responsibility is within the boundaries of the province.

The MTAM currently represents 85% of the professional Massage Therapists who work in the province of Manitoba. 

The MTAM is governed by a nine member Board of Directors elected by the members of the association at annual meetings. Directors serve two-year terms. (Please see below for a list of current Directors.)

Its affairs are also guided by standing committees who review programs, projects and issues within the profession periodically making recommendations to the Board of Directors.

Its members are bound to each other by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice and are subject to discipline if any breach shall occur which threatens public harm. (See Registered Massage Therapists section of this site - Complaints)
