Find the Right Massage for You
Finding a professional massage therapist who is well-trained and
knowledgeable can make or break a person’s massage experience. AMTA
offers a national locator service at
www.findamassagetherapist.org
that makes it easy for you to locate a professional AMTA member for
massage. AMTA professional members have demonstrated a level of skill
and knowledge through education and/or testing and are required to
meet continuing education standards to remain members.
When you’re choosing between massage therapists, you should
ask them specific questions, including if they are licensed to practice
massage, if they are nationally certified and where they received
massage therapy training. You should feel comfortable with your
massage therapist, and confident that he or she meets state
regulatory requirements and professional standards for practice.
For more information on how to choose a qualified massage therapist, what to expect
from a massage and more, just visit AMTA’s online
Consumer Guide.
