Georgia Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT)

Georgia regulates Massage Therapists by state licensure under the Georgia Massage Therapy Practice Act passed in 2005.  “The practice of massage therapy is declared to be an activity affecting the public interest and involving the health, safety, and welfare of the public.”  Anyone practicing massage therapy is required to hold a valid license issued by the GA Massage Therapy Board.  The license must be publicly displayed at the place of business.

State licensure insures the practitioner has met state established standards and education requirements to protect the public from unqualified individuals.  The license also holds the practitioner accountable to the state in behalf of the public.

All our therapists are GA licensed.

Consumers' Guide to Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork

As more Americans benefit from therapeutic massage and bodywork, they are discovering the value of obtaining services from Nationally Certified practitioners.

What is National Certification?
National Certification is a credential therapeutic massage and bodywork practitioners may hold by meeting certain eligibility criteria, taking and passing an examination, upholding a national Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, and demonstrating continued education in the field.

Why Do I Want A Nationally Certified Practitioner?
Nationally Certified practitioners have subscribed to the following statement of practice:

"Massage therapists and bodyworkers shall act in a manner that justifies public trust and competence, enhances the reputation of the profession and safeguards the interests of individual clients."

Smart consumers look for the NCTMB certification credential. Whatever their need - pain relief, rehabilitation, relaxation, or physical or mental rejuvenation - consumers know that Nationally Certified practitioners will provide quality, professional service. National Certification assures consumers that their interests are being protected. It provides much the same security as other medical and health-related certification practices.

National Certification recognizes practitioners who meet standards of proficiency and who are committed to the profession.
