Licensing

Most states require massage therapists to be licensed to practice legally.[1]

States that require licensure generally require therapists to complete a certain number of training hours from an approved school, and some require a Continuing Education Unit (CEU) renewal, typically 1-4 years.

Therapists should check with their state licensing board to verify the education and renewal requirements before offering services.

What to Include

A service contract for massage therapists should include:

  • The names of the therapist and the client.
  • The type of massage and treatment being offered.
  • How much the services will cost.
  • The way the therapist will be paid.
  • Schedule of massages (for recurring clients).
  • The license number of the massage therapist.

The massage therapist contract also defines the therapist as an independent contractor, responsible for their own taxes, and not an employee of the client.
