Every professional needs to follow a code of ethics when they practice their craft. Massage therapists are no different. Massage therapists must follow a code of conduct when working with their client. In order to gain admission into and continue membership with the American Massage Therapy Association., massage therapists must follow a set of rules. The following are the Principles of Ethics from the first part of the Code of Ethics that massage therapists must follow:

- Massage Therapists shall acknowledge the inherent worth and individuality of each person by not discriminating or behaving in any prejudicial manner with clients and/or colleagues.
