“Massage” is the administration by any person of any method of exerting or applying pressure, friction, moisture, heat or cold to the human body, or the rubbing, stroking, kneading, pounding or tapping of the human body by any physical or mechanical means.

Any person who provides massage (as described above) for an exchange of something of value (including tips) needs a license.

To schedule a massage establishment inspection (with at least 7 days’ advance notice), please call Environmental Health at 307.633.4090.
