I need help and don't know where to turn. I am in the process of opening a Massage Therapy Business in my local town here in Pa. After I paid for the Occupancy Permit and Sign Permit, I received a call from the Borough Zoning officer to come to the Borough office. When I got there he presented me with a Borough ordinance prohibiting "Massage Parlors" that was on the books since 1983.
I presented the zoning officer with my State License, National Certification, and my ABMP membership, which he made copy's of to give to the Borough Solicitor
The answer I got today was that I have to present my case to Council on the 15th. I have spent a couple thousand dollars already and may not be able to open. No one knew about this Ordinance till after I filed for the permits, the police chief found it. The Borough Solicitor hinted to me that if passed there may be restrictions such as a male therapist can only work on male clients and a female therapist can only work on female clients. Which as you know will put me out of business before I'm even open.
I need help. I'm in western Pa. South of Pittsburgh.

I am offering two unique workshops in the Pittsburgh area in mid-September. The first, Indian Champissage™ (Head Massage) is a 3-day course for 21 CE hours. The second, Kansa Vatki Foot Massage™, is a 1-day course for 7 CE hours. Both courses are NCBTMB approved (450489-07)
What: Indian Champissage™ (Head Massage)
When: Sep 9-11 (Fri/Sat/Sun) 9:00 - 5:00 each day
Where: Courtyard by Marriott Monroeville
Indian Champissage™ has been popular in India for over a thousand years. The head, neck, shoulders and upper back - areas where tension is more likely to accumulate - are gently, firmly and rhythmically massaged until the pressure simply melts away. This unique therapy combines physical and subtle massage with energy balancing to produce feelings of perfect peace. It is a wonderful alternative to seated chair massage.
What: Kansa Vatki Foot Massage
When: Sep 12 (Mon) 9:00 - 5:00
Where: Courtyard by Marriott Monroeville
Kansa Vatki Foot Massage™ is a beautiful and relaxing healthcare modality which balances the body, mind and spirit. This unique treatment, steeped in centuries of Ayurvedic ceremony, incorporates ghee (clarified butter). The heart of the treatment involves vigorously rubbing the soles of the feet with a
3-metal bowl to draw heat and toxins out of the body thereby inducing tremendous relaxation. The Kansa Vatki Foot Massage™ is deeply revitalizing for tired feet and legs, and it makes a perfect addition to reflexology.

Myofascial Release is an easy to learn treatment modality, as well as an entirely fresh way of viewing the body. Designed to get you started right away, Foundations in Myofascial Release seminars will allow you to successfully integrate Myofascial Release into your treatment regime. Don’t be put off by other methods that seem to require years of training, thousands of dollars in investment, or buying into a system of beliefs that feel forced.
Myofascial Release…Demystified.
