Statewide Regulations For Massage Therapists In California?
Massage industry in California is strongly backing the idea of statewide regulations for massage therapists instead of the current city-by-city regulations. Governour Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill for creating these statewide regulations.
Although the industry is supporting this new idea, some smaller massage schools and independent practitioners have opposed the measure. One argument against this is reducing the creativity.
“California’s been a breeding ground for different types of massage,” said Selena Lee, director of the McKinnon Institute of Massage in Oakland. “It’s been a birthplace of creativity. When you start to regulate that, you reduce the creativity.”
