MTAA Code of Ethics

 

The Code of Ethics provides the necessary human framework for the MTAA Standards of Practice. Together, the Code of Ethics and the Standards of Practice present a strong and confident foundation for the profession of massage therapy in Alberta.

 

This project would not have been possible without the dedication of the Board of Directors along with input and assistance from the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. Thank you to all those volunteers who contributed their time, expertise, insight and continual support throughout the process.
