About Us
The Broward chapter of the FSMTA is a non for profit organization that works as your local representation of the FSMTA (Florida State Massage Therapy Association).
The FSMTA maintains a strong presence in Tallahassee to protect the rights of the massage therapist. We promote and initiate legislative platforms to improve the status of massage, our right to practice, and our right to be part of the Health Care Delivery System. We have lobbyists, an attorney on retainer, a legislative committee, and a legislative chairperson – all who work on YOUR behalf to make sure that the legislature is aware of the concerns of the therapist
