The Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) is a U.S.-based non-profit that coordinates the work of its member state massage therapy licensing boards. It supports safe and effective massage therapy for the public by facilitating communication, offering education, services, and guidance to help member boards meet statutory, professional, public, and ethical obligations. The organization seeks to harmonize licensing requirements and cooperative procedures to enable professional mobility and simplify licensure, and it administers an entry-level licensing examination that aims to assess competence. Based in Overland Park, Kansas, FSMTB works with accrediting bodies, governmental entities, and related groups to raise standards of education, licensure, and practice across its national network. Recent activity includes participation in a Human Trafficking Summit in Wisconsin in 2026, reflecting its engagement with broader public-safety issues alongside licensing work.
