Finding a Qualified Massage Therapist

Finding a qualified massage therapist is easy at AMTA’s Find a Massage Therapist, or call toll-free, 1-800-THE-AMTA (888-843-2682).  You can look for an AMTA massage therapist by location or areas of massage specialty; find information on practice hours; or, learn if the massage therapist works from one location or will travel to you.

Trained massage therapists are happy to share their credentials with clients. AMTA professional members have demonstrated a level of skill and knowledge through education and/or testing and are required to meet continuing education requirements to retain membership.  Learn more about massage therapy credentials.

Currently, 38 states regulate massage therapy practice.  In states that don’t regulate the profession, it is common for municipalities or counties to regulate it.  Always ask your massage therapist if they are licensed or if they meet requirements to practice in your area.  You might also ask your massage therapist if they have special training in particular massage modalities or techniques.
