CA is one of the hot spots regarding licensing and legislation in the massage profession.

Currently, massage professionals are required to obtain permits in each city or town that they work in.

There are over 230 massage schools teaching a various number of hours of education - from 100 -1000.

What is really needed here?

What will allow everyone a fair chance to practice?

The CA Alliance of Massage and Bodywork is working to get proper legislation in place that will allow massage therapists to practice without all of the problems they are faced with now…

While I am not really up with what is going on there, because I will never move there, we could all learn from the situation as someday it might happen here!

How did it get so out of control?

Is it the schools who want to make money who keep lobbying for legislation?

Is it the small time practitioner who has a basic 100 hours of education, which in my opinion is enough to start a business and be very successful and even bill insurance companies for your services.

It is all so discouraging and confusing.
