Maryland massage therapy requirements are found in two sources: statutes and regulations. Both contain legal requirements for massage therapy practice.
Statutes: State Laws
Statutes are laws passed by the Maryland General Assembly. They establish the Board's authority and the basic legal requirements for practicing massage therapy in Maryland.
Massage therapy statutes are in the
Health Occupations Article, Title 6. The link below starts at Section 6-101.
Regulations: Detailed Rules
Regulations are rules adopted by the Board under the authority of state law. They explain how legal requirements are applied, including requirements for licensing, professional practice, and continuing education.
Massage therapy regulations are in the
Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR), Subtitle 10.65. The link below opens the Board's regulations directly.
Statutes and regulations may change. Refer to the official resources linked above for current requirements. Both links open in a new tab.
