🚨 ALERT: Most Sports Massage Therapists May Be Banned from Practicing With This New Proposed Legislation.
The Department of Health is proposing to regulate Sports Massage Therapy under AHPCSA, treating it like a clinical health profession.
❌ This means that most current therapists will no longer be allowed to legally practice unless they meet new, restrictive requirements.
⚖️ If passed, the new law would:
- Require 2–3 years of clinical training
- Ban you from advertising your services to attract clients
- Forbid working from a shared gym, salon, or mobile setup
- Block partnerships with non-AHPCSA-registered colleagues (e.g., trainers, wellness coaches)
- Prohibit retail sales, commissions, or product endorsements
- Enforce strict “clinic” infrastructure requirements you likely can’t meet
💥 These rules are not designed for wellness work — they will destroy jobs, close businesses, and push skilled professionals out of the industry.
‼️HELP STOP THIS NOW‼️
