Regulation
FSMTB and individual government boards anchor licensing, education, examinations, renewal, and complaint pathways.
Sources and methodology
Different claims need different kinds of evidence.
Massage.how uses official regulators for licensing, government and primary research for health claims, professional organizations for practice context, and clearly labeled editorial judgment for comparisons.
Health and safety
NCCIH, primary research, clinical organizations, and relevant healthcare guidance inform evidence language and reasons to pause.
Professional context
AMTA and other professional sources help explain common client experiences, draping, communication, and workplace practice without replacing law.
Commercial facts
Partners, APIs, prices, availability, affiliate terms, and compensation require current direct verification before they appear as active.
Review rhythm
Mutable facts carry a date and a reason to recheck.
Health-adjacent content, key source links, and the regulatory snapshot were reviewed July 22, 2026. Licensing, school requirements, prices, availability, platform capabilities, and commercial relationships still require direct verification before consequential decisions.
