Regulation might sound like the least exciting topic in massage therapy, but it's actually the battleground where our professional identity and future are being decided.

Massage therapy regulation is far more than bureaucratic red tape; it's a dynamic system that establishes professional standards, protects the public, and helps define who controls the massage profession's territory. We break down the complex regulatory landscape, explaining how licensing affects practice rights and why it matters to every therapist.
