Regulating the practice of massage and bodywork therapy and its educational
institutions, for the protection of the public.
NORTH CAROLINA BOARD of
MASSAGE & BODYWORK
THERAPY
Message from the Board Chair,
Holly Foster, LMBT
This has been a challenging and rewarding year
for the North Carolina Board of Massage and
Bodywork Therapy; challenging by way of the
number of investigations of complaints and
rewarding by way of new legislation that provides
the Board with the ability to regulate massage
and bodywork therapy establishments.
The Board receives complaints each month of
illicit activity by non-licensed persons as well as
licensed massage and bodywork therapists across
the State. Each complaint is taken seriously and
is investigated thoroughly. The Board’s duty is
public protection and this is but one way it is
carried out.
The Board has been working closely with police
and sheriff’s departments across the State to
educate them on the laws governing the practice
of massage and bodywork therapy in North
Carolina. In instances where illicit activity
by LMBTs and unlicensed persons has been
discovered, the Board and these departments are
working together to stop the activity and punish
those responsible.
With the new charge by the legislature to regulate
massage and bodywork therapy establishments,
the Board has begun to develop rules that will
implement that regulation. This is an ongoing
process that requires input from stakeholders,
submission to the Rules Review Commission,
and open hearings. I encourage your participation
in this endeavor.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our
always excellent Board Staff. I would also like
to welcome our newest Board Member, Rachael
Goolsby.
Here’s to a productive, safe 2018.

KEEP INFORMATION

To optimize communications be­tween the Board and licensees, please update your current email address at the Information Update tab on the Board’s website www.bmbt.org.3
Licensure of Establishments
The North Carolina Legislature passed Senate Bill 548 in July 2017 that provided the NC BMBT will be responsible for overseeing and licensing establishments that provide massage and bodywork therapy services. We encourage you to go online to read Senate Bill 548 and to attend Board meetings where you can keep up to date on discussions and decisions of the Board as licensure of establishments is implemented. See the Board’s website for dates of meetings and past meeting minutes.
The Board encourages your participation. Here is a projected timeline for the Establishment License implementation process.
4/19/18 – Public Hearing on rules
5/14/18 – End of comment period
6/21/18 – Board reviews comments and approves final rule submission
9/1/18 – Effective date of rules
The Board’s mission is to: “ensure the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of this State receiving massage and bodywork thera­py services”. The Board will be able to utilize the Establishment license to stop individuals that are running a business that does not meet the require­ments set forth in Senate Bill 548. Some of those requirements are:
1. Requirements for adequate, safe, and sanitary facilities.
2. Requirements for compliance with local building code require ments, State fire safety codes, and State health inspection codes nec essary to ensure the safe and effective practice of massage and body work therapy.
3. Requirements for retention of client and ownership records.
4. Requirements that its employees or independent contractors be currently licensed by the Board.
We have heard LMBTs, in phone calls, emails and letters, express concern over businesses that are operating in a manner that does not represent legal massage therapy and bodywork. We will now be able to inspect and have hearings for those who own these businesses. All too often, we have had hearings for those pretending to be licensed massage and bodywork thera­pists. These persons have either been willingly operating illegally or have been victims of human trafficking. Either way, until establishment licen­sure, the Board had limited ways to discipline those who owned and ran these businesses. We hope you will see the value in elevating the profes­sion while also protecting the public. Thanks to those of you who have sup­ported the Board in making massage and bodywork therapy an honorable and legal healthcare profession.New Reach Course
In the summer of 2017, the NCBMBT began collaborating with the FSMTB to develop a course through the FSMTB REACH program. According to the FSMTB website:
The Regulatory Education and Competence Hub or REACH, is an online learning management system that houses regulatory-focused educational courses and services for the Federation’s member boards. When opened to the pub­lic, REACH can be found on the FSMTB website. REACH serves several functions for the Federation including offering public safety courses for license renewal and remediation courses for disciplinary actions by its member boards. Each course is available for mobile devices and designed following best practices for adult learning using interactive multimedia experiences that engage the learner and deepen understanding of the content.
The Board requested that FSMTB create a course in Client Intake and Documentation. This broad topic will be covered in four separate courses, client communication, documen­tation, client intake and legal issues. The Board will use the course primarily for remedia­tion and discipline purposes. When a therapist comes before the Board for disciplinary purposes and it is determined that the therapist will benefit from remediation in one of these areas, one or more of the courses will be assigned for completion. The anticipated availability date of the course is June, 2018.
Art of Healing License Required
Senate Bill 548 clarifies that a LMBT is required to obtain an Art of Healing license from the North Carolina Department of Revenue: “Every individual in this State who practices a profession or engages in a business and is included in the list below must obtain from the Secretary a statewide license for the privilege of practicing the profession or engaging in the business. The tax for each license is fifty dollars ($50.00) and includes a physician, a veterinarian, a surgeon, an osteopath, a chiropractor, a dentist, an ophthalmologist, an optician, an optometrist, a massage and bodywork therapist, or another person who prac­tices a professional art of healing.”
The need for, enforcement of and understanding of this Art of Healing license has been spotty, at best, up until now. With this change, LMBTS are now considered healthcare professionals in the State of North Carolina.
