4.1 What about licencing, certification and professional training?
Licencing is, of course, only relevant if you are looking to charge
for giving massages. The restrictions and regulations differ from state to

information about regulation in other countries, please post it to the
newsgroup.
Some jurisdictions have no restrictions, some provide two-tier

therapists), some just want to make sure massage is not being used as a
cover for prostitution. Some even require a level of training level

two major organizations that are frequently discussed in alt.backrubs.
