You should also look under the licensing section on their website.  I posted it

below.  I'm not quite sure how this is legal. Josh Kernen, PT, DPTBridgetown

LicensesMassage Therapy licensure requirements differ based on the state in

question. In states with Massage Therapy regulations, workers must graduate from

a training program and obtain a license prior to practicing a massage.

Typically, a Massage Therapist must pass an examination to obtain a

license.There are two types of certification tests offered by the National

Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB):National

Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCETMB)National

Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage (NCETM) Both of the above

exams are multiple-choice. In order to sit for either of the exams, a candidate

must have received at least 500 hours of supervised

instruction and graduated from an accredited school.Massage therapy licensure

boards decide which certifications and tests to accept on a State-by-State

basis. In states that use the National Certification Examination (NCE), if a

Massage Therapist has passed the appropriate exam in one state, he or she can

apply for licensing in another state without having to re-take the test. In

states that do not use the NCE, even if a Massage Therapist in another state, he

or she is required to either take that state's test or apply for reciprocity,

which is typically granted on a case-by-case basis. Reciprocity refers to the

exchange, recognition or enforcement of licenses, privileges or obligations

between states of the US or between nations.

This is a basic massage therapy program seemingly unaware that " physical

therapy " is a protected title. Reporting this to the PT state board and APTA

should take care of this.

Reading the press release, the syntax and meter are all wrong. This appears to

be written by somebody where English is their second language.
