Board Overview

The Iowa Board of Massage Therapy evaluates the qualifications of applicants for licensure and grants licenses to those who qualify. The board establishes rules and regulations to ensure the integrity and competence of licensed massage therapists, and investigates complaints for unprofessional conduct. The board is the link between the consumer and licensees. As such, promotes the public health, welfare and safety. Licensees are responsible for meeting all licensure requirements and should periodically review the rules.
