✨ Big news for massage therapists in California ✨
As of January 1, 2026, CAMTC-certified massage therapists are officially recognized as health care providers.
What this means: massage therapy is formally recognized as part of the health care system.
What it doesn’t mean: we do not diagnose, open incisions, or remove drains. For unexplained pain, swelling, or wound care, please see your physician, nurse or surgeon.
Rachel Wong, CMT #71448 — CAMTC-certified for nearly 10 years and a Certified Lymphedema Therapist.
Proud to practice safely and ethically. 💙
