Each state has their own definition of what a person who does massage can call themselves. The first state to license massage therapists was Ohio I believe but I am not sure what they called massage therapists.


You can check with the OH State Board for massage to see and take a look at how other states designate terms for people who do massage.When did massage therapists start being called massage practitioners?
I am a massage therapist. As far as I am concerned, me and my colleagues still call ourselves ';massage therapists';. Most of my clients still refer to massage therapists as massuese, the French version of the word with mostly negative connotations attatched.
