massage therapy?

[nitwig//0]

has anyone ever been to one of these amp's or massage parlours that have registered massage therapist working for them, or have paper work to show that there certified?

that way you could get a massage and tail with your work benefits. I got 5 bills for massage therapy, be niiice if my benefits paid for it.

A certified registered massage therapist could lose their license over this and I don't think many are going to risk that.

 

[Danielle A]

True, but some registered massage therapists do give massage + hj. I would guess that not many actually lose their licenses because of it.

Does anyone know the difference between a registered massage therapist and a certified one? Or is it the same thing?

 

[Senor Cardgage]

Basically,we are all looking for the happy ENDING. However we acheive this,or whoever sais it is legal,or has a license makes no difference to me or you!
Lets have fun while we are here,and share our experiences with eachother!

I haven't been posting much lately because of travel and work commitments but I thought I'd help out my buddie Herb.

This question comes up from time to time and there seems to be some confusion about the terms, with many people assuming a "Certified Massage Therapist" is a "Registered Massage Therapist".

They are NOT the same thing in B.C.

An RMT in BC is a person who is registered as a massage therapist and governed by the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia (CMTBC) - the regulatory body for all RMTs in BC.

A "Certified Massage Therapist" is a person who has received a "certificate". It could be from a massage school that involves a lengthy period of study or, taken literally, someone who completes an afternoon course in massage and receives a certificate for passing the course. If someone says they are a "Certified Massage Therapist", that usually means they are not an RMT.

If you want to know more about the qualifications of an RMT, check out their website: Massage Therapists Association of BC

As you'll see from the website, RMTs have been regulated Health Care professionals since 1946. They are governed by the B.C. Health Profession Act. "To become an RMT in B.C, students must complete at least 3,000 hours of training over three years at an accredited college. This can be compared to a university bachelor degree which typically averages 1,500 hours over four years."

It will be very, very rare to find any practising RMT who offers any "additional services" of the kind obtained in a massage parlour. If anyone is lucky enough to find an exception to this rule then the RMT will want it kept extremely confidential or they risk being exposed to disciplinary action and possibly losing their registered status. Now, if an RMT has quit practising as an RMT then they may no longer be concerned about the ramifications of additional services.

So, in a nutshell, if you want a therapeutic massage go see an RMT. Rates for a full body massage for an hour are only about $70 to $75. Then go see the "certified massage therapist" or an MPA if you want limited additional services or see one of the higher-rated independent SPs for more services.

Some "certified massage therapists" also give a fairly decent massage, just don't expect a therapeutic one at the same level as what you'd get from an RMT. And expect to pay more than for an RMT who has 3,000 hours of schooling.

Thanks, Penhold, for that thorough and enlightening response.
Now where can I get one of those one-afternoon certificates so that I can open up shop giving ladies erotic massages?
And should I charge more for getting naked?

In BC, by law, only RMTs may use the two words "massage therapy" together. Most benefits administrators like Green Shield or Blue Cross or whatever require certification proof of the massage provider (or acupuncturist, chiropractor, etc.). I suspect that the certificates that several girls in MPs have may be of an insufficient standard for benefits claims. Also if the claims payments were to be found as covering all or part of a particular uninsured activity, this could be interpreted as fraudulent by the benefits administrator. I am not aware of non-RMT MPs that present themselves as possessing a particular 'therapy' training standard that would support ICBC or benefits claims.

All this talk is making me want a massage now.

What would they do if a girl wanted extras? rub and rub?

 

[Georgia_xo]

Rub and rub
Rub and lick
Rub and kiss
Rub and suck
Rub and insert
Rub and fist
