"Practitioner" and "therapist" are basically interchangeable in the massage world. The reason "practitioner" is used is because some states (Washington is one of them) do not allow massage therapists to call themselves therapists. Instead they are required to refer to themselves as "practitioners". I think the reason for this is that the physical therapists lobbied to have this terminology changed so that they are differentiated from massage people. (Some PT's look down on massage therapists a lot because they have a lot more training than massage therapists do) Kristoff, Post Falls, ID
