I wish the NCBTMB would die. It's outlived its usefulness, its primary purpose, at this point, appears to be to perpetuate itself. The list of "approved" classes still contains a lot of garbage. And they have us between a rock and a hard place. You can either pay them their fees and jump through their hoops and be associated with a board that approves classes like "Molecular Terminal Valence Sloughing System with Liquefaction" or you can decline paying their fees and getting approved and risk people not taking your courses because you don't have NCB approval. It's a racket.

The Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards announced their intention to approve CE a couple of years ago, but that has not happened yet. My guess is another year or two on it at the rate they have been going, but I could be wrong. At this point in time, for massage, there are only a few states that skip the NCBTMB and approve their own providers and a couple that require the NCBTMB approval plus their own.

I went with state approval in Maryland. Most MTS think the only way to get credit for renewals is ncb, but as entry level credentials disappear and Board Certification takes its place, I forsee less need for those approvals but you will have to educate the professionals cause most don't read the laws. There are options to partner with professional CE providers who already have multiple professional approvals so you don't need them, or partner with local community or college CE Programs for CEUS - they charge an extra fee but those cover credentialing for many states.
Okay so I'm just wondering if anyone knows a good massage parlor or any where they recommend because my backs killing me lately and I've never had one before so any...
