What can result from a finding of unauthorized practice of massage therapy?

A finding of unauthorized practice of massage therapy can lead to an action to enjoin the practice. This means that legal steps can be taken to prevent the individual from continuing to operate without the appropriate licenses or certifications. Enjoining the practice is a serious consequence, as it serves to protect the public from unqualified individuals engaging in activities that require specific training and licensing. This action aims to uphold the standards of the profession and ensure that only qualified practitioners provide massage therapy services.

Probation may not be applicable in cases of unauthorized practice since it usually pertains to individuals already licensed who may have violated specific regulations. Suspension of a driver’s license is unrelated to professional practice in massage therapy, and while monetary settlements for clients can arise from various situations, they do not directly relate to the consequences of unauthorized practice.
