NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Massage Therapy has received the petition for declaratory statement from Janelle Schor. The petition seeks the agency's opinion as to the applicability of Section 480.033(3), Florida Statutes, as it applies to the petitioner.
Further, the petition requests that the Board issue a declaratory statement stating, that pursuant to Section 480.033(3), Florida Statutes, individuals who administer Muscle Activation Techniques (“MAT”) would not be required to be licensed as a massage therapist, because MAT is in fact separate and distinct from massage therapy.
A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Anthony Jusevitch, Executive Director, at the below-referenced address or phone: (850)245-4161.
Please refer all comments to: Board of Massage Therapy, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C06, Tallahassee, FL 32399-3256, within 14 days of publication of this notice.
