What does Registered mean and how does it differ from a non-registered massage practitioner?
A Registered Equine Massage Therapist is a member of the IFREMT. This means that they will have had rigorous hands on and in class training, undergone testing by fellow REMTs and veterinarians, and as members they abide by the standards and codes that govern them. They will pay yearly dues and attend meetings to maintain and enhance their knowledge and skills. While each therapist’s style will differ, the public can expect the REMT’s skills and knowledge will be at a high level. The REMTworks as a professional, with equine professionals. An REMT also works under the direction of the horses primary veterinarian. Non registered practitioners might have varying degrees of knowledge and skills, may or may not have had training, and might be hard to track down if a problem arises between the owner and the practitioner. While there are many great unregistered practitioners, owners need to ask questions to be sure of the qulaity of services they will receive.
