COVID-19 & Massage Therapy in Nevada

The AMTA and the AMTA-Nevada chapter remain committed to supporting the health and safety of our massage therapy community. Now that COVID has been a part of our lives for several years, we are in a very different place from where we were back in March 2020 — we have more information about how the virus spreads, prevention methods, and access to improved treatment options. Although COVID-19 & Massage Therapy in Nevada have been revolutionized, we encourage you to continue to:

1. Stay safe & maintain your own health
2. Keep your loved ones safe
3. Keep your clients safe

During the pandemic in Nevada, many chronic pain services were disrupted as healthcare systems were forced to redirect resources to non-urgent, outpatient care, towards intensive care units for COVID patients. This delayed access exacerbated the pain crisis in the country. Today, massage therapy is more crucial than ever — helping people with pain relief, stress reduction, and improving the quality of lives.

Please check the following resources that have the most up-to-date information about COVID-19 and how it may affect the public receiving massage therapy services:

• Nevada’s (and local jurisdictions’/Health Departments’) [on-going] Response via the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services’  Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH), where the resource for the most-current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) information is linked as well;
• the  Nevada State Board of Massage Therapy (NSBMT)
• the national  American Massage Therapy Association resource-webpage.
