Massage therapy registrations in Nova Scotia to be given added oversight under new legislation
HALIFAX—Starting Jan. 1, anyone who wants to use the title of massage therapist or registered massage therapist in Nova Scotia will have to meet new requirements. Provincial Health Minister Randy Delorey says the Massage Therapist Titles Protection Act creates more consistency in the profession through professional standards and oversight. The legislation sets out requirements around education, liability insurance, and membership in good standing in a recognized professional association. There are about 1,500 massage therapists in Nova Scotia, which becomes the sixth province to regulate the profession.
