Why Choose a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)?

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). Your decision should be rooted in public safety, professional accountability, and quality of care.

Lets explore the importance of why patients/clients should prioritize RMTs over unregulated practitioners. We will focus on practice standards, continuing competencies, professional accountability, and the public’s best interest.

The CMTNL is an organization that operates to protect the public by ensuring professional standards. The CMTNL does not advocate on behalf of RMTs. It is a self-governing body made up of a volunteer-based board of directors with a small administrative staff team of a Registrar, Quality Assurance Officer (QAO) and Exam Coordinator.

Through the Massage Therapy Act, 2005, and under the administration of the Minister of Health and Community Services (the Minister), the College is empowered to make regulations governing and directing the activities of the massage therapy profession in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Board of Directors of the College is composed of five massage therapists who are elected by the members of the College and two directors representing the public interest. The Minister appoints the two public directors. Directors are normally elected/appointed for a three-year term, and may be re-elected and serve for nine consecutive years.
