There are no legal restrictions in place preventing sports massage therapists from treating people aged under 18.
We urge anyone seeking sports massage therapy to take the time to find a reputable, insured and appropriately qualified practitioner who is on a voluntary register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.
