The regulation of massage therapy in Canada is not universal. In fact, in most regions the profession isn’t recognized as a professional health-care practice at all. Massage therapy has only been codified and regulated in three Canadian provinces: Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario and British Columbia. Although specific regulations vary, massage therapists practicing in these provinces are governed by law and must be members of their professional association. They must also comply with a code of ethics and professional conduct.
