About the Arkansas State Board of Massage Therapy

The Arkansas State Board of Massage Therapy protects the health and well-being of the general public through regulating the practice of massage therapy.  This is accomplished by licensing, continuing education requirements, promoting education, administering tests to establish minimum competency to practice, and enforcing professional behavior and standards. The agency is funded primarily through business licenses and fees.

Other Notices:

Licensees who received their renewal licenses before obtaining 18 hours of continuing education cannot practice massage therapy after December 31, 2009 if they have not obtained the required 18 hours of continuing education.  Licensees must submit proof of meeting the continuing education requirement for renewal to the Arkansas State Massage Therapy Board (Board) postmarked no later than January 15, 2010 in order to maintain a valid license. 

A licensee who has not received the required 18 hours of continuing education may advise the Board, in writing, postmarked no later than January 15, 2010 that they want their license to be classified as Inactive and surrender their license to the Board to avoid forfeiting their license.

When the licensee has obtained the required 18 hours of Board approved continuing education classes, they may activate their license by submitting a completed Inactive Status to Active Status Form along with proof of meeting the continuing education requirement, and the Board will issue a current license to the licensee.

An Inactive Status to Active Status Form can be obtained on the Board’s website, www.arkansasmassgetherapy.com,  under  the “Document Center” tab.
