Which of the following is a condition for an LMT's advertising per section 6-401?

In Maryland, the criteria for how Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) can advertise their services are designed to ensure transparency and professionalism within the industry. One critical condition is that the LMT's name must be included in any advertisement. This requirement serves multiple purposes: it promotes accountability, fosters trust with potential clients, and helps maintain a level of professionalism in the practice. Including the LMT’s name ensures that clients can easily identify and connect with the therapist and reinforces the idea that the practitioner is personally responsible for the services they provide.

On the other hand, while business names and trade names can certainly be part of advertising strategies, they cannot replace the necessity of prominently featuring the LMT's actual name. This helps to prevent misleading or untruthful representations about who is delivering the service. Therefore, including the LMT's name in advertisements aligns with the goals of ethical practice and consumer protection within the massage therapy profession.
