It depends on where you live. Private practice Massage Therapy is usually considered a "cottage business", practiced in one's home or the home of a client. As such, it is about as legal as teaching piano from home. Some people not familiar with the industry can be creeped out by it, especially if the massage therapist is male, so it helps to be clear that the massage is in no way sexual, ever.
Massage therapy sessions at a client's home or office may cost more due to travel time for the massage therapist.

Yes, in California, it is illegal to receive massage therapy services from an unlicensed massage therapist. According to the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), all individuals who provide massage therapy services for compensation in California must be certified by CAMTC or hold a local permit or license issued by a city or county. This certification ensures that the massage therapist has met specific education and training requirements, passed a background check, and adheres to ethical standards and regulations set by CAMTC. Receiving massage therapy from an unlicensed practitioner not only puts you at risk of receiving substandard or unsafe treatment but also contributes to the proliferation of illegal and unregulated massage businesses, which can be associated with various illicit activities, including human trafficking and exploitation. Therefore, it's essential to verify that your massage therapist is licensed by CAMTC or holds a valid permit or license from the local jurisdiction before scheduling an appointment.
