MTAA Insured Student Membership

MTAA Insured Student Membership includes liability coverage to practice as a student. 

Insured Student members are permitted to provide relaxation massage ensuring they meet the requirement to have an approved supervisor on site. This includes entry-level massage therapy techniques such as Swedish Massage, effleurage, petrissage, gliding, and stroking.

Insured student members are not permitted to provide massage therapy with the use of advanced massage therapy techniques. These techniques may include but are not limited to trigger point release, friction, stripping, joint mobilizations, or any other technique commonly used to treat soft tissue pain and dysfunction.
