Does Georgia require you to have a license to practice massage therapy now?

Relocating soon to Atlanta and need to know?
Yes.
Massage is therapeutic and regulations are necessary to protect the public from unqualified practitioners. It is in the interest of the public to set standards of qualifications, education, training, and experience for those who seek to practice massage therapy; to promote high standards of professional performance for those licensed to practice massage therapy; and to protect the public from unprofessional conduct by persons licensed to practice massage therapy.

legally to run a massage business, yes. but there are many "massage therapists" in town and some give "happy endings" too.

GA (particulary Atl) is just now regulating more industries. within the last few years, they just regulated contract builders and strippers to get a "license" to perform those jobs.
