Certified massage therapist.
A certified massage therapist is someone who has been professionally trained to perform massage therapy. Massage therapists are also sometimes called masseurs or masseuses. I earned my massage therapy certificate from, High Tech Institute in 2004 with 900 hours of training. While a certificate gives a massage therapist the legal right to practice massage, it can take many more years to develop the expertise to become an excellent massage therapist.
