Massage Therapist License Requirements By State
We want to make finding the information you need easy. That's why we've put together this easy guide to the requirements of all 50 states.
Life Can Be Unpredictable
In the hands-on profession of massage therapy, unpredictable events can cause unexpected and problematic issues. Accidents or miscommunication can lead to significant claims, which is why a number of states require massage practitioners to have coverage.
For one low flat fee, massage therapists can receive the quality, comprehensive coverage they deserve, avoiding the costly impact that a lawsuit can bring. Even the most careful massage therapists can make a mistake, or encounter one of those hard-to-please clients that finds fault in a treatment, even if nothing really went wrong. Learn more about what it takes in each state to become a licensed massage therapists and any additional liability insurance requirements for business owners or individual practitioners. Take a quick look at policy details and benefits.
