Another Massage Board Adopts the MBLEx
15 November 2007West Virginia is now accepting the MBLEx from the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB). As the ranks continue to grow and flourish I can’t help but wonder how long it will be until all the states with Massage Boards will accept the exam as an alternative to or instead of the National (NCETMB).
I am hoping that this will also get the other states in gear that don’t have governing boards or agencies for massage for a uniformed statewide governing organization to oversee the affairs of massage. It is very much needed and long past due. Imagine if all the states were part of the federation and how beneficial this prospect truly is for Massage Therapists everywhere.
Current list accepting the MBLEx;
Oregon, Washington, South Carolina, Iowa, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia, Arkansas and Tennessee
