Indiana Massage Therapy License and Exam Update |

|
Indiana Board of Massage Therapy - The newly appointed board will require you to have a license in 2009 Indiana is one of the states left who do not require any type of license or certification for massage therapists. Although there has been legislation in the works for 8 years, no finished product has yet to emerge. Massage therapists associated with the Indiana chapter of the AMTA have been lobbying for Massage Therapy Licensure for some time. The reasons why they feel licensure is necessary can be found on this page of their site. Many states who require a massage therapist to be licensed do so based on the certification exam offered by the NCETMB (National Certification Examination for Massage and Bodywork). It is likely that when the state of Indiana chooses to require massage licenses, that they will utilize this national exam as well. On January 1, 2009 We do know from state licensure documents that Indiana will require an approved massage course consisting of no less than 500 hours of instruction in the areas of massage assessment, application, anatomy and physiology, body systems, pathology as well as ethics and business practices.
