We are thrilled to announce that our collective efforts have resulted in a significant victory for Arizona massage therapists!

Thanks to the overwhelming support of the community, the Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy, in conjunction with the Governor's office, has resumed license renewals while they continue to upgrade their system. The state is processing renewals as swiftly as possible with this updated approach.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Board for taking our petition seriously and to Governor Hobbs for her responsiveness to this critical issue. This positive outcome demonstrates what we can achieve when we work together constructively.

This win also highlights the power of collective action and advocacy. By raising our voices and demanding change, we successfully protected the livelihoods of countless therapists and ensured continued access to vital massage therapy services for the public.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who signed the petition, contacted their representatives, and shared this message with their networks. A special thank you to the news outlets that shed light on this problem to the public, which was a key part of our success! Your support was instrumental in achieving this positive outcome.

We are committed to continuing this positive momentum and working collaboratively with the Board to ensure a thriving and sustainable massage therapy industry in Arizona. We encourage all members of the public, LMTs, spa owners, and everyone in between to engage with the Board and support its needs for staffing and funding through voting and other avenues.

Thank you for standing with us!
