Is your Therapist Certified?

Is Your Therapist Certified? Why It Matters for Your Health

When you’re searching for a therapist—whether it’s for occupational therapy, massage, lymphatic care, or yoga—it’s important to ask: Is your therapist certified?
Here’s why certification matters, and how it benefits you as a client.

1. Certification = Professional Standards

A certified therapist has met strict educational and professional requirements set by national boards or recognized organizations. This means they’ve completed formal training, passed exams, and committed to ethical standards and ongoing education.

2. Specialized Knowledge

Certified therapists have advanced training in specific techniques and conditions, such as Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD), Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), KinesioTaping, or yoga instruction. This expertise helps ensure you get safe, effective, and up-to-date care.

3. Better Outcomes and Safety

Choosing a certified therapist helps protect you from injury and ensures that your care plan is evidence-based and tailored to your needs. Certified therapists understand how to recognize and address complications or risks, and they follow best practices to support your healing.

4. Peace of Mind

Knowing your therapist is certified gives you confidence in their skills and professionalism. You can trust that they are held to a high standard of care and are committed to your well-being.
