If you are licensed or practice in Washington DC, here's some GREAT news from the president of the AMTA-DC chapter! The AMTA-DC chapter has been fighting this frustrating fight with the city for two solid years:
"Chairman Mendelson's office confirms that the Massage Establishment regulations are unenforceable, and licensed massage therapists are not required to obtain a Massage Establishment License for their practice operations in DC.
Additionally, the DC Council's passage of Section 524 specifies that any regulations pertaining to practice facilities for LMTs must be affirmed by the DC council."
This removes (in practical terms) the barriers to sharing our offices / businesses with other massage therapists and allied health professionals. I think that these collaborative kind of business arrangements are the Next Big Thing in our profession and I am delighted that we've defeated the Massage Establishment License requirements here in DC.
