Massage Therapy is not governed by any State body in Minnesota. Local jurisdictions may have their own rules with regards to Massage Therapy licensing.
Membership in a professional association requires Massage Therapists to meet certain requirements.
Many Massage Therapists in Minnesota belong to professional associations, such as the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), which requires successful completion of a minimum 500-hour Massage Therapy program.
Certification through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) requires the completion of 750 hours of education and a minimum of 250 hours of hands-on practice as a massage professional.
Massage Therapists that are registered with a professional association may have additional continuing education requirements. Massage Therapists should refer to their professional association for continuing education standards and requirements.
Most associations accept courses approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) and/or the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB). Refer to your professional association for details.
