Is Your Massage Therapist Qualified?
When scheduling a massage do you give much thought as to who would be giving your massage and what qualifications they have? If you’re like most, probably not, but you should and here’s why.
Minnesota is still one of a few states that do not have a state-wide licensing board to oversee the licensing of massage therapists. Instead, the regulation is taken care of at a local level. Each city is different and decides how they will regulate the massage field. Some examples of these requirements may include minimum hours of training or completed program, written and hands on testing, as well as a back ground check and licensing fees.
What this means is that your massage therapist could have very little training depending on where you go – Yikes!
People think of massage therapy as “safe” and it generally is, but things can go wrong, especially if your massage therapist lacks the proper training.
The AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) recommends looking for a massage therapist who has at least 500 hours of training from a reputable, accredited school.
