Licensed and Certified Massage Therapy – Find the Right Professional

Why seek licensed massage therapy? Most states have a professional board that regulates those that perform massage and other body works within their borders. They require therapists to have special training for a given number of hours at certified massage therapy schools. Many require therapists to take follow up training every year or two to retain their license. With the license from the state, you have a level of assurance that the person performing the massage knows what they are doing. Some states do not require licensing of massage therapists, however. In those cases, how do you find a good one?

Some therapists advertise certified massage therapy instead of licensed massage therapy. In states with regulatory boards, it is important to verify they have a license to practice. However, in those states without such boards, finding one with certification is a good sign. The question to ask is who provided their certification. A few boards provide certification for massage therapists. One is the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork or NCBTMB. With their certification, you get someone who has completed at least 500 hours of training, demonstrate the required skill sets, pass a standard test, and go through continuing education to retain their certification. Many states use their exam as the state standard for licensing.

When you combine licensed massage therapy and certified massage therapy, you are dealing with a professional dedicated to the work. That is the ideal situation. Think about it. You are asking that person to perform muscle massage on your body. If someone is unqualified, they can do damage. The wrong movement or pressing in the wrong area can be painful. Why take the chance? Find someone who knows their craft and takes pride in their work. In the long run, it pays to find a professional instead of an amateur.

There are varied types of massage. Most therapists train in one or more extensively. Once you find someone who practices both licensed massage therapy and certified massage therapy, ask that person for what types of massage he or she specializes in. Deep tissue therapists may not be a good choice for someone who is sensitive to pressure. However, many therapists offer different types of massage. Some integrate other practices such as aromatherapy and reiki into their work. They provide a full range of services for those looking for an excellent way to relax and de-stress.
