Maine Massage Therapy Overview

The demand for massage therapy services is on the rise as doctors, hospitals and the general public become increasingly aware of the benefits of massage for overall health and wellness. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook 2008-2009 Edition put out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the field of massage therapy is expected to see a 20% growth rate between 2006 and 2016, which would culminate in an additional 24,000 massage therapy jobs across the nation over the next several years.

As the demand for massage therapists in Maine continues to rise as well, Maine massage therapy practitioners can expect to see a parallel rate of growth in the massage industry in their state.

The Department of Professional and Financial Regulation Office of Licensing and Registration grants massage therapy licenses for practitioners in Maine and is the regulatory body for message therapy in the state. This agency requires that massage therapists obtain 500 hours of training from an approved massage school, become certified in CPR and First Aid and pass an examination to gain licensure to practice in Maine.
