The Advisory Board of Massage Therapists was created in the Department of Health & Human Services to regulate massage establishments and massage therapists and establish basic qualifications for licensure of massage therapists. The board was recently transferred to the Office of Professional Licensure and Certification in the Division of Health Professions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ESSENTIAL SERVICES:
The Office of Professional Licensure and Certification has been in contact with New Hampshire Business and Economic Affairs (“BEA”) to determine if services provided by Massage Therapists are considered essential services. Currently, services provided by Massage Therapists are not essential services. Please see Executive Order #17 for requirements and restrictions that may apply. https://www.governor.nh.gov/news-media/emergency-orders/documents/emergency-order-17-1.pdf.
Due to the current State of Emergency around the COVID-19 Health Advisory, all board and licensing business is being done electronically via email at this time. Please do not call the office or any board phone listed on this page at this time. Please contact Tina Kelley, Tina.Kelley@oplc.nh.gov and your inquiry will be responded to as soon as possible during normal business hours, Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:00pm. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
