Massage and Terminology: be Respectful of Your Therapist

Why make a fuss over terminology? Today in the United States, professional massage therapists strive to maintain a very clear distinction between those of us who seek to provide safe, effective and ethically sound services to the public, versus those who provided unethical, potentially unsafe, or illegal services. When the public chooses to use appropriate terminology when referring to professionally educated, and especially state or nationally recognized massage therapy providers, it helps solidify that distinction in the public mind thereby helping keep both clients and professionals safe across the board. Thank you in advance for helping us in this effort.

Sincerely,
Your Professional "Massage Therapist"
