"Anybody can claim to be, there's no certifications other than maybe a B tech award so bonfide will be difficult to vet the fakers out. "
Actually that's not quite correct. There are various levels of accreditation and certification for massage B tech being one of them. Levels start at 3 which is basic up to level 5 which is more advanced. Level 5 in sports massage for example gives the practitioner enough skills to be able to treat/work with professional athletes. I even believe there was talk of a level 6 which would lead to a degree in Holistic therapies. Professional therapists can only obtain insurance with valid certificates and training. So yes there are ways to prove if someone is legit. The problem in the UK is there is no governing body so it is not regulated.
In the US for example massage therapists have to obtain a licence to practice and be on a register. It is heavily regulated there but also seen as an integral part of general healthcare and s out the professional service from the "extras” service. |

"Hi,
Just wondering if there any professionals on here...want to treat the Mrs to a massage with benefits.
Proper professionals that is,not people claiming to be!"
you can arrange it as role play through fabswingers but no professional therapist would do it through their business as there's a code of conduct for insurance etc
I suggest put up an advert on fabswingers and ask to see certificates.. if you don't ask... |
