Massage therapy is usually regulated at a state or a local level. Still, many therapists provide their services without any state certification and find their customers through recommendations or sharing economy directories. Most states require massage therapists to get their degree from postsecondary schools. A massage therapist course lasts between 500 and 1,000 hours, and it encompasses a wide variety of health care lessons, from the most basic anatomy to body motion and business management studies. Depending on the state, the massage therapists might need to pass a special licensure exam that is organized by the Federal Massage Therapy Board.
