MASSAGE AND SPECIAL TREATMENT ESTABLISHMENTS
In 1949 there were 20 establishments in the Borough licensed
for massage and special treatment under the Middlesex County
Council Act, 1944.
In addition to these there were four establishments granted
exemption from licensing by virtue of being conducted either by
medical practitioners or by members of the Chartered Society of
Physiotherapists.
In 1943 the Council made it a condition of registration that
an applicant's name should be on the Register of the Board of
Registration of Medical Auxiliaries which admits only those persons
who have trained with a qualifying body recognised by the Board.
These establishments are inspected twice a year by the Sanitary
Inspectors and licences are renewed annually subject to satisfactory
compliance with the Council's Byelaws.
