In the minds of many, the men- ,
tion of a paid massage conjures up
images a dimly lit shanty where a ]
rubdown is the precursor to sex for ,
money. ]
Massage therapists are rooting
for a new state law that will begin to (
change that and ease the many road- \
blocks they face in opening businesses <
in a number of North Carolina towns.
In those towns, local ordinances (
draw no distinctions between many- <
massage parlors and therapeutic mas- (
sage clinics. i
The new law, which was sponsored
by state Sen. Frank W. Ballance Jr., <
requires licensed massage therapists i
to have at least 500 hours of train- s
ing and sets up a state board of mas- (
sage therapists and citizens to review 1
and issue licenses. (
It also draws the distinctions
between massage therapy and mas- s
sage- parlor activities that therapists
have requested. 1

In early 1992, after six months of
Dbying the Greenville City Council,
isebere got an exemption to the local
dinance, which allowed her to open
r business.
But she didn't stop her fight to make
e business more legitimate there.
The state didn't offer licenses to masge
therapists, which means those prossionals
can't bill insurance compass
or workers' compensation plans for
e services they provide.
For six years, she lobbied the Genal
Assembly.
"To all the cities and counties in

therapy," Casebere said.
"And it will legitimize massage thery
