    What does a massage therapist do?

    Massage therapists provide hands-on bodywork services that may support relaxation, stress relief, muscle recovery, or general wellness. Services may include Swedish, deep tissue, sports, prenatal, chair, or therapeutic massage.

    Why licensing matters

    Massage therapy licensing rules vary by state and local jurisdiction. In many places, massage therapists must complete training, pass required exams, and maintain a license or registration. Before booking, check whether licensing is required in your area and confirm the provider's status with the appropriate board.
