massage therapy Licensure Information
Ohio was the first state to license the practice of massage, and the first applicant was licensed in 1916. Ohio is unique in that it defines massage therapy as a "limited branch of the practice of medicine."
The Board has established a Massage Therapy Advisory Committee to advise the board regarding issues relating to massage therapy in Ohio. This committee meets quarterly, and the schedule is available on the website.
Criminal Background Check required for initial license and license restoration applications received on or after March 24, 2008.
