Delaware

The Delaware Board of Massage and Bodywork recently met and adopted changes to the rules governing massage and bodywork licensing. The new rules provide for online licensure renewal, allow half of continuing education requirements to be fulfilled online, and clarify the categorical restrictions on continuing education. ABMP provided comments but unfortunately, the board adopted the rules as written because renewal notices had to be sent. It is ABMP's hope that the board will allow more time to discuss our concerns in the near future, which include acceptance of the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEx) offered by the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (www.fsmtb.org) as a qualification for licensure.
