Yes there are fines and possible jail time depending on the local legislation. Check out the Massage Therapy board (usually part if the health department) for whatever city/state/country you are trying to practice in for more specific information.
Well I don't know about now, but back in 2003 I was working massage for a chiro without a license, I was covered under his license
I am sorry, but (therapist) is no longer working for us; we do have another therapist who can treat you, if you wish.
Depends in what state and how popular the PT is, and if you can take those clients and massage them at home as well. 34-50k
There are no accredited massage therapist schools online, as part of one's schooling, includes working with patients in an in person, hands-on setting.
It depends if the therapist is an independent contractor or spa/clinic employee. 30% (+tips) is average when working at an establishment and the cost of the massage (-supplies) when working independently. So, as you can see, it varies greatly.
If a massage therapist has a client that they've worked on several times, and tried different modalities without obtaining results, the best thing for them to do is to refer them to another professional; either another massage therapist or someone else working in allied health.
Most massage therapist I know dont work for a chiropractor, or a chiropractic clinic, but rather rent a room and work for themselves. Thus, the massage therapist charges his/her patients whatever they like (or whatever is reasonable/competitive) and will just pay a monthly rent fee to the owner of the clinic.
It depends on whether they are working for themselves or are employed in an establishment, like a spa, chiropractic office, gym, etc. The national average income for a massage therapist is about $30-40,000 per year.
No! In the state of Indiana unlicensed person working can't work in a hair salon
No. You need to have a license in whichever State or municipality you are performing professional massage. That means: if you are getting paid or doing barter, you need to have all the permits, licenses, and certificates that are required in the area you are working.
Massage Therapist. “Masseuse” is a French word that refers to a female who practices massage. (Males in the industry were known as “masseurs.”) However, due to certain unsavory connotations with the term (as well as the need for more gender neutral terminology), “massage therapist” is preferred
When a massage therapist works your muscles to help relax and lengthen them, they are working the muscles in such a way that it can be similar to the effects you get the next day after you have started a new exercise routine. So sometimes, after getting a massage for the first time, a person can feel sore the next day because the muscles have been manipulated in a way that encourages them to rebuild themselves stronger, just like in exercise. This is called delayed-onset pain and should not be confused with immediate-onset pain that occurs during, or right after, physical exercise or massage. If you experience pain during, or a few hours after a massage, then it was done improperly and you should consult with the massage therapist, or if severe, see your doctor. Also, you should see another massage therapist if the condition didn't work the 1st one.
No. You are not 'naked' in any professional massage in the United States. In Swedish, and other Eastern-style massages, you disrobe (remove your clothing) and lay on a table covered with a sheet. The massage therapist then uncovers only the area that they are working on at the time. In Asian-style massages you keep all your cloths on and get massaged through them.
