Massage Therapy Act
California · BPC · §§ 4600 to 4621 · 25 sections
Overview
The act governs the practice of massage therapy as a regulated occupation, setting the terms under which a person may offer massage services to the public and hold themselves out as a massage therapist. It works primarily through credentialing and oversight: defining the scope of the regulated practice, establishing qualifications and application requirements for those seeking to enter it, and providing for the supervision and discipline of practitioners along with enforcement against those practicing outside the statute's terms. The framework is organized into distinct subject areas covering these functions, and the particular standards, exemptions, and procedures differ among the states that have adopted it.
