Are you supposed to tip registered massage therapists?

It's my first time going to a rmt, and was wondering what the protocol was. The rmt has her own clinic.Are you supposed to tip registered massage therapists?
nope, no tipping is needed. You are paying them directly for that treatment, much in the same way you'd pay a doctor, chiropractor, attorney, etc.Are you supposed to tip registered massage therapists?
I usually do, but the RMT I went to worked out of her own home and was only in her first year or two of practice. She was undercharging (based on local rates) so she could build up a clientele. I tipped her cuz A) she was GOOD and B) with the tip, it brought the cost of my massage up to what it would have cost in other places.
if it is the owner no!


an employee gets 15-20 same as a waitress but you can get away with 10%


Hairstylist , manicure and pedicure also get the 15-20 , if you don't like their job, you do not need to tip!!
