Massage therapy license requirements vary from state to state, and the laws are constantly changing. It's our current understanding that, in Pennsylvania, although a bill was passed the board has not yet been selected and laws have not been finalized. However, it has been determined that 24 hours of continuing education related to the practice of massage therapy is required every 2 years. Apparently credit will not be given for course in office management or practice building. Whether programs must be approved by the board has not be defined.
If you would like to verify this information, or have further questions regarding your massage therapy continuing education requirements, we suggest contacting the Florida Board of Massage directly. Visit the Pennsylvania Chapter of the AMTA's website at http://www.amtapa.org.
Remember, the Institute for Integrative Healthcare Studies is approved by the NCBTMB as a continuing education Approved Provider (#049478-00). All of our continuing education programs can be used for your National Certification renewal.
You may also use our credits for other organizations you belong to such as the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) or Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).
