Introduced on January 11, 2012, Senate Bill 6103 proposes to regulate reflexology by requiring the registration of reflexologists. Since massage therapists are already licensed in Washington, and reflexology fits within a massage therapist’s scope of practice, this legislation will not have an impact on massage therapists. In addition, the bill provides that any individual registered as a reflexologist may not use the term “massage therapist” or any similar term to describe or advertise his or her services.
Assigned to the Committee on Health & Long-Term Care, the bill is scheduled to be heard on January 25 at 8:00 a.m. We will provide updates as to the status of this bill as they become available.
