The NWTMTA is a professional, non-profit association dedicated to fostering and promoting high standards in this branch of health care. Massage is a very personal, hands-on mode of treatment, and as such, it requires the utmost in confidence and comfort between practitioner and client. Through our continuing efforts, we endeavour to present the public with effective, quality care, while encouraging our members to attain the highest levels of professional standards possible. As a member-run association, we continue to advance and advocate for the legislation and regulation of massage therapy in the north. Though there are no current requirements at the government level, our members carry liability insurance, have all received at least two years of training at an accredited institution, have passed a competency exam, and are required to obtain continuing education credits. Choosing one of our members for your needs ensures you are in good hands.
