Complaints & Concerns
MTAM expects high standards from its members, who must adhere to a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. While massage therapy is not yet regulated in Manitoba, MTAM can enforce disciplinary action within its membership. Revoked membership does not prevent someone from practicing, but they can no longer practice as an MTAM member.
Complaints & Concerns Information
If you have concerns about unprofessional treatment, first discuss it with the therapist and then the business owner if needed. If your concerns remain unresolved, you can file a complaint with MTAM using the provided Complaint Form and Authorization Form.
If you have a concern about an MTAM member but do not want to make an official complaint, please phone the Executive Director directly: 204-927-7977 or email tweid@mtam.mb.ca
