UNDERSTANDING MASSAGE THERAPY SERVICES AND FEES

Understanding Massage Therapy Services and Fees

The Registered Massage Therapists' Association of Ontario (RMTAO) has published this Guideline to assist individuals who receive services from a Registered Massage Therapist in understanding the fee structure and the legal and practice requirements with which massage therapists must comply.

Our hope is that a better informed profession and a better informed public will result in healthier, more productive relationships.
