The risks in visiting the unqualified or untrained or unlicensed practitioners are many as they don’t have deep knowledge about this therapy. The main reasons for high risks in this kind of treatment are they all deal with muscles and tissues and blood circulation. If anything goes wrong then the pain in muscles and tissues won’t decrease but on the other hand it will increase to greater extent. The pain increases mainly because the techniques they have learnt are not up to the level to do all these treatments and thus results in this kind of side effects. In general massages deal with manipulating body to feel relieved from stress and pain hence it is better to approach good, well trained and experienced masseurs to get this kind of treatment.
As there are many massage centers and masseurs in today’s world it is not easy to find the fraudulent people. Hence if you have doubts in the treatment methods and feel that only money is melting away not the pain then just approach them and ask for the license. Because every trained massage therapist should have license for them and also for their massage center if they fail to have anyone then it is better to avoid them and look for some other licensed masseurs. But if they are licensed they will surely hang those things in wall by framing to indicate people that they are licensed and no need to worry about the quality. These kinds of things are not seen in unlicensed, uneducated trainers and in their training institutes.
In those training institutes if anything goes wrong then you have rights to complain to the concerned officials and that centers could be closed and trainers could be sued if the officials get proper proof. Other than this these centers should hold an insurance policy for clients to take necessary measures if anything goes wrong. But in unlicensed centers it is very hard to find these kinds of policies and if you find anything like then it may be a duplicate one and you could complain about them to the higher officials and they in turn could do their work.

Another major reason for this kind of unlicensed center to develop in huge numbers is the cost of the massage service in licensed centers. This kind of massage is very costlier so many people looks for cheap massage centers and as these unlicensed centers are charging less they become regular customers and not understanding that they are unlicensed people. They came to know about them as fraud only when they come across serious injury or any side effects. Hence it is better to avoid this kind of unlicensed, uneducated practitioners who are providing services at less cost than normal. Also understand that this is not a low cost process as the results are also not easy to get hence the charges will be more. So after verifying that the practitioner is a licensed, educated and well trained person it is good to approach them for any kind of massage therapy.
