In some provinces of Canada, they are called “Registered massage therapists”, as they are regulated health professionals. In the United States, these individuals are often referred to as massage therapists, because they must be certified and licensed as "licensed massage therapists". In European countries, a person professionally trained to give massages is traditionally known as a masseur (male) or masseuse (female). The purpose of massage is generally for the treatment of body stress or pain. Massage techniques are commonly applied with hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearms, feet or a device.
