Is THAI a governing body or a regulatory agency?
No, it is not. Membership in THAI is voluntary and is not enforced by any laws or regulations. There are governing bodies that regulate the practice of western massage and bodywork, Chinese medicine, physiotherapy, and other forms of healing and body therapy, but THAI does not govern or regulate any such practice. All members of THAI must comply with their local laws and ordinances regarding their personal and professional practices.
