What the medical profession is saying about Advanced Certification... "It's critically important to designate massage therapists with higher levels of education, experience and expertise." National Certification for Advanced Practice (NCAP) As a chiropractic physician, Dr. Joe Muscolino believes that – if massage therapy is to take its rightful place in clinical orthopedic care – practitioners with advanced training need to be nationally recognized. " Massage has a tremendous potential, but it won't be realized if the profession doesn't start to acknowledge its own capabilities and distinguish between different levels of achievement. A credential such as the NCAP will demonstrate to the public and to the medical community the advanced skills of accomplished massage therapists."
