Massage therapy license requirements vary from state to state, and the laws are constantly changing. It's our current understanding that certifications were being issued beginning in September of 2009. There are two levels of certification - Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) and Certified Massage Practitioner (CMP) - depending on the amount of education completed. Certifications are renewed every two years, however, requirements for renewal have not yet been determined.
