Massage Therapy Association of South Africa (MTA)

The Massage Therapy Association - South Africa (MTA) - formerly known as the Holistic Massage Practitioners Association - was founded in 1989 to work towards the professional recognition of Therapeutic Massage Therapy in South Africa.

MTA is managed by an annually elected Committee and is a non-profit making organisation with its own Constitution, Code of Ethics and Conditions of Membership to govern the conduct of its members. It is to date, the only professional association representing the interests of Therapeutic Massage Therapists in South Africa.
