Massage Therapy in Italy?

6 years ago
Hello, i’m currently a Licensed Massage Therapist in the United States. Here in the in the states we have to go through 1 year of massage school to get a certification, and then we have to get licensed by our states department of health. Here we are considered healthcare providers, in the same way physical therapists are. I’m wondering what the requirements are for working as a massage therapist in Italy? I’ve searched but I can’t seem to find anything at all. I’m wondering what education requirements you need to be able to legally work, do you need a license? As a massage therapist you have two routes for work, one is working in a spa, and the second is working in a medical office, such as a physical therapy office or a chiropractors office. If there is a licensure process, is it different for medical massage versus relaxation/spa? Thank you, any help is appreciated.
