Manchester massage therapists must hold an NH Office of Professional Licensure license under NH RSA 328-H. Establishments register with the City Clerk under Ch. 80 and meet zoning rules in Ch. 410.
NH RSA 328-H requires individual massage therapists to be licensed by the New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification. Manchester does not require a separate practitioner license but mandates business registration through Ch. 80 for establishments. Zoning under Ch. 410 restricts massage establishments to commercial districts; home-based practice falls under home-business rules. The state board investigates complaints involving unlicensed practice or unprofessional conduct. Establishments must display licenses publicly and follow sanitation rules per board regulations.
Operating an unlicensed establishment, employing unlicensed therapists, or operating outside zoning rules violates NH and Manchester law.
