Does one need to be certified to be a massage therapist?
Yes, you do need to be certified to be a massage therapist. Check out the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork website (http://www.ncbtmb.org/) or the American Massage Therapy Association website (http://www.amtamassage.org/).
Can a nationally certified massage therapist practice anywhere in the country?
No--NCBTMB certification isn't related to regulation. Many states use the NCB's exam as part of their licensing requirement, but the certification alone doesn't allow you to legally practice anywhere. In states without regulation you can obviously practice either way, and in that case national certification can serve as an indication of your training. In regulated states, you do need to get a state license (or in Colorado, "registration") to legally practice--the NCB certification itself doesn't allow you to practice in that case.
How do you practice massage therapy?
The best way to start is to get at least 500 hours of training and education at an American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) approved school.

The ones used most often are the NCETMB given by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) and the MBLEx given by the Federation of Massage Therapy Boards.
