Wyoming Massage Therapy Overview

As the nation’s population grows and ages, the demand for qualified, well-trained healthcare professionals in all fields is on the rise. With the growing recognition of massage therapy as a viable treatment option for many injuries, conditions and ailments, the demand for professional massage therapists, in particular, is rapidly expanding. Wyoming massage therapists are in a position to experience a similar rate of increase in the demand for professional massage therapy services in their state.

According to the May 2008 State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates for Wyoming, massage therapists practicing in Wyoming at that time made an average annual income of $28,760. Most massage therapists are self-employed and are able to set their own schedules, which allows them to control the amount of income they bring in each year.

There are currently no statewide laws or regulations governing the massage therapy industry in Wyoming; however, prospective massage practitioners who wish to work in Wyoming should contact their local health or licensing agency to determine the requirements to practice in their jurisdiction. It is also important to keep in mind that most states regulate massage therapists, and national professional massage associations are constantly pushing for all states to adopt regulatory legislation. Therefore, practitioners in Wyoming should prepare for the possibility of statewide requirements for licensure or certification at some point.
