MTAM (Massage Therapist Associate of Manitoba) Massage Therapy

Continuing Education Requirements

The Massage Therapist Association of Manitoba along with massage therapists have been working to bring regulation to the massage industry in Manitoba. This process is ongoing.

However, if you are a member of the Massage Therapy Association of Manitoba (MTAM) you must obtain 24 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) during the 2-year cycle where a minimum of 18 CECs must be earned from approved Core Competency activities (courses that are directly aligned with the Scope of Practice and Business of massage therapy). While all of the CECs may come from approved Core Competency programs, only a maximum of 6 CECs may be earned from Complementary activities (courses that are complementary to but not directly aligned with the Scope of Practice and Business of massage therapy).

Additionally, the MTAM recommends that 4 of the 18 Core Competency CECs come from the annual completion of the MTAM Self-Assessment Tool, although this is not mandatory.

If you would like to verify this information, we suggest contacting The Massage Therapists Association of Manitoba directly. The telephone number for the The Massage Therapists Association of Manitoba is 204-927-7979 or visit their website at https://mtam.mb.ca.

If you are a member of NHPC you may use any of our programs to complete your 20 Continued Competency Program credits toward your biennial membership renewal.

Remember, the Institute for Integrative Healthcare Studies is approved by the NCBTMB as a continuing education Approved Provider (#049478-00) and Health Positive! is a division of the Institute. All of our continuing education programs can be used for your Board Certification renewal.

You may also use our credits for other organizations you belong to such as the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) or Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).
