Letter to the Board of Chiropractic and Massage Therapy Examiners concerning renewal requirements.

The following letter was sent from the Board of the AMTA Maryland to the Board of Chiropractic and Massage Therapy Examiners on August 2, 2010. Please feel free to use this information in formulating your own letter to the Board of Chiropractic and Massage Therapy Examiners to express your concerns.


Kay B. O’Hara, D.C., President
Maryland Board of Chiropractic and Massage Therapy Examiners
4201 Patterson Avenue, Suite 301
Baltimore, Maryland 21215-2299

Subject: Maryland Renewal Reminder Post Card

Dear Madame President,

The Maryland Board of Chiropractic and Massage Therapy Examiners sent out a post card entitled “Maryland Renewal Reminder.” The American Massage Therapy Association – Maryland Chapter believes that information contained within the post card can be confusing and misleading.

The post states “…ALL CEU COURSES MUST BE BOARD PRE-APPROVED TO OBTAIN CREDIT;…” This statement is not consistent with COMAR Title 10, Subtitle 43, Chapter - 20 Massage Therapy-Continuing Education Requirements, Regulation 02 - Approval of Continuing Education Programs, which states:

“A. The Board shall approve credit for the following:
(1) Courses approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB);
(2) Courses offered by Maryland schools accredited by the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC); or
(3) Courses determined by the Board to meet professional standards and educational needs for certified massage therapists and registered massage practitioners.
B. The Board shall approve as having met all requirements, certificate and registration holders who have a current, valid NCBTMB certification, provided the cited hours in the specified curriculum in Regulation .01 of this chapter are met.
C. The Board may approve for renewal credit a program or course consisting of one or more of the following subjects in live, audio, or electronic mode:
(1) Risk management;
(2) Professions ethics and jurisprudence;
(3) Client and patient relationships and professional boundaries;
(4) Massage therapy theory, technique, or practice;
(5) Massage therapy contraindications;
(6) First aid and cardiopulminary resuscitation; or
(7) Any other course or program determined by the Board to meet the professional and educational requirements of the certificate and registration holders.”

This regulation has not changed since the last renewal cycle and it is widely understood by the massage therapy community that, as the regulation states, the regulatory board shall approve NCBTMB courses.

Additionally, the post card states that “(…ALL must hold an active Provider Level CPR Certification).” This statement is not consistent with COMAR Title 10, Subtitle 43, Chapter - 20 Massage Therapy-Continuing Education Requirements, Regulation 01 - Required Continuing Education Hours, which states:
“… B. In addition to the requirements of §A of this regulation, at the time of renewal, a certificate or a registration holder shall possess a certification of qualification in cardiopulminary resuscitation (CPR).”

The above regulation does not require massage therapist to have a specific level of CPR Certification. This regulation has not changed since the last renewal cycle and as such it is widely understood that any level of CPR training is accepted as it was at the last renewal cycle. During the previous renewal cycle, the Board specifically clarified that any level of CPR was acceptable.

Should the regulations change, we would hope that the regulatory board would provide more than 30 days notice prior to renewal. As of this date, most massage therapists/practitioners have already completed their required training according to the above mentioned regulations.

The Fluid Facilitation Technique - 16 CEUs

THE FLUID FACILITATION TECHNIQUE August 7-8, 2010 9:30-6:30pm Training Location: CCBC Essex 16 CE Hours One of the most important benefits of massage is an increase in circulation. However what is most proved and obvious, commonly escapes from attention. The specific technique that enhances movement all body fluids currently is not taught. So, a few years ago I decided to develop the continuing education workshop that specifically addresses enhancement of circulation. HEALTHY ME August 4, 2010 5-9pm Training Location: CCBC Essex 4 CE Hours THE FLUID FACILITATION TECHNIQUE The fluid facilitation technique was developed for those who need to recover from effects of exercises and injuries quickly. It is designed to facilitate movement of variety of body fluids such as blood, lymph, interstitial, synovial fluid and more. Based on Dr. Emil Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) technique a completely different massage technique was developed. It is much less complicated, easier to learn, and more easily integrated into massage sessions than MLD or Lymphatic Facilitation (LF). MLD and LF design to facilitate movement of lymph only. The fluid technique is enables fluid exchange between blood capillaries and interstitial (extracellular) fluids. There are approximately eight “fluid pumps” in human body. By stimulating natural physiological responses MT speeds up fluid exchange. Thus more nutrients and oxygen delivered to the tissue and faster metabolic waist products removed, faster process of healing occurs.
