City Massage Therapist Licensure has created confusion within the profession and hence many practitioners are not following State Law. 2. Studies have also shown that occupational licensure creates undue burdens on low to moderate- income workers. Please see: https://ij.org/issues/economic-liberty/occupational-licensing/ 3. Massage therapist have an expect career span of only 7 years: https://massage-academics.com/7-years- average-career-lifespan-in-massage- therapy/#:~:text=7%20Years%2D%20Average%20Career%20Lifespan%20Massage%20%7C%20Massage%20Academics . In reality, many only stay in it for 3-5 years due to burnout. While yes, there are some that stay in it for 20-30 years, that is not the norm. 1. Does it make financial sense to require 600-hours of training plus the cost ($6,000-$30,000 depending on the school) for such a likely short length of time in that career? 1. Anoka-Ramsey Community College's massage degree program looks like it is around $7,220 (if in the career for only 5 years, that's over $1,440/year to pay off that student debt!) 2. University of Northwestern looks like it would be over $26,000 for their program (if in the career for only 5 years, that's $5,200/year to pay off that student debt!) 4. Your law actually treats males and females differently under 309.06.J.b. You are saying that a male-identified therapist may give a massage without a shirt. 5. Under 309.06.G - Alcohol is a very common thing at Business open houses/celebrations, there should be an exception during an Open House like event for the Business and massages during that time would not be offered except for maybe chair. 6. What about just Reflexology practitioners? There are MANY people that only do foot reflexology. 600-hours of training for them is idiotic. 7. What about Ayurvedic practitioners? Ayurvedic Massage is completely different from Western, Asian, etc, and often taught to Ayurvedic Practitioners. For example, I'm training in Ayurvedic Face Massage using Marma Points. 8. What about traveling massage practitioners that go to people's homes? 9. Under 309.06.Q: Rates. Those should also be posted to their public website. 10. 309.03 - License Exceptions. What about Naturopathic Doctors (they are registered), what about Traditional Naturopaths (unlicensed under MN 146a), what about CranioSacral Therapists (which is actually a form of energy work, NOT massage therapy, even though many massage therapist do blend it into their massage)? 11. Under 309.01.D. and E, Can you please cite some facts/reports on those? Massage techniques have been used within traditional forms of healing and have been passed down from generation to generation for well over 4,000 years. 1. Here are a list of actions taken against practitioners since 2001 in the State of MN: https://wwwhealth.statemn.us/facilities/providers/compalt/dispactionshtml 2. Human Trafficing happens way more via the internet: https://wwwhealth.statemn.us/communities/safeharbor/myths.html 12. Why limit the number of massage businesses within Roseville? I'm pretty sure there's well more than 10 massage businesses within Roseville city limits currently. In closing, as a citizen in Roseville, I would say that I am against Massage Therapist licensing and should be scrapped. I'm not as much commenting on the Business License aspect (even though overall I think we have way too much licensing overall that restricts people's freedom and ability to make a living, though do agree that some modest licensure is understandable.) Additionally, with the world being on the edge of financial collapse (we're hearing it all over with the banks preparing for a recession again), do we truly want to be limiting and increasing burdens with people's abilities to work and provide for their families?
