Dear Anja.
I live and work in Madrid at present time, at this moment there is no
regulation in Spain about the massage. But, in the Schooll of Physioterapy
from Madrid there are a special commition working in this area. You could
write to the schooll ([log in to unmask]) and ask about better information.
Cheers.
