Check your state, city, or county Department of Labor or Health Department regulators to find out the requirements to practice Massage Therapy. Therapists who live in unregulated states often obtain a passing score on the MBLEx from the Federation of State Massage Therapy Board (FSMTB) after graduation to ensure they can continue their career if ever they move out of state. Some employment establishments may require a certification or license to apply to work for them.
The best time to take the licensing exam (MBLEx) is at the end of your schooling or right after, so the information is fresh in your mind. We encourage you to utilize our site to review your massage curriculum and build your confidence in obtaining a passing score. Massage-Exam.Com has over 3500 questions in the following categories; massage assessment, massage application, kinesiology, body systems, pathology, business ethics, anatomy and physiology.
