Also in PA, there is no such thing as a LICENSED massage therapist. They are certified here. We, as Estheticians in PA can and do do backs with a massage!!! Also, right now, anyone can do massage in PA. Lynnette Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
-----Original Message----- From: nailf...@aol.com Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:31:24 To: <NailTech@googlegroups.com> Subject: NailTech:: Re: question/massage/interpretation Here is the definition of an aesthetician straight from the Pennsylvania State Board: Esthetics— (i) The practice of massaging the face, applying cosmetic preparations, antiseptics, tonics, lotions or creams to the face, removing superfluous hair by tweezers, depilatories or waxes, eyelash perming and the dyeing of eyelashes and eyebrows. (ii) The term includes the use of industry standard mechanical and electrical apparatus and appliances in the practice of esthetics. Esthetician—An individual licensed by the Board to practice esthetics. Maybe that is one of the reasons Massage therapists get upset. We need to be very aware of exactly what our scope of practice actually is. BTW< I am a massage therapist and an aesthetician so, legally I can massage while I give a body treatment.

No state board actually allows us to do massage on the back. you can apply product for beautification purposes only.

So I can actually massage most of the body under my dual licenses. In PA anyway!
