Welcome to the home of the Alliance for Licensing Massage Therapists! We are a totally-not-for-profit, grassroots group of Minnesota Massage Therapists, teachers, students, clients and MN citizens working toward reasonable regulations for the practice of Massage Therapy in MN. We're glad you're here!
We add New pages and info as it becomes available- Listed here from newest to not so new.
Massage Therapy Body of Knowledge project releases its first draft for public comment. This project, backed by 6 major organizations in the Massage Therapy community has taken on the gigantic task of creating a "Body of Knowledge" or "BOK" document for the profession, and it can only truly represent the entire profession if it has feedback from the folks who practice it. When finished the document will not be legally binding in any way, and will not change Massage Therapy laws already in place but will be able to stand as a standard for Massage Therapists to measure up to and will be very useful in the states without legislation for using a standard document and to be able to use standard language in the drafting of their laws, (something we can tell you from experience would be very helpful indeed!) To participate in the BOK process, read the First Draft of the "BOK" and make comments - both can be done through THIS LINK to the BOK's website.
2009 Legislative Survey Completed - The ALMT conducted an online survey of MN Massage Therapists and Massage Therapy students who plan to begin practicing in MN before 01Aug2011. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of the state passing a credential that will make it easier to protect our potential clients by giving them a standard credential to look for when choosing a therapist. Thank you to all those who took the time to fill out the survey and for everything you do for our profession everyday!
NEWS: CAM Law Office Closed - The Governor's un-allotments to balance the state budget included the de-funding of the state office which oversaw adherence to the state CAM law. For more information on this change and what it means for your practice, click THIS LINK.

Special Note: If you notice any typos or links that do not open, please take a second and zap the Alliance Chair an email and let him know exactly where on the site you saw the problem. This website is maintained by a Massage Therapist, not a webmaster. (In other words if you have a problem in your Infraspinatus I can help you; If however you have a problem with a URL hyperlinking, or a PHP that doesn't interact with your CSS, I have to wait for the experts at the website hosting service to get back to to me!) So thanks for your patience and and for helping us to get all the bugs out of our site.
