Starting November 1, Georgia state will no longer accept energy practices, reflexology, structural integration, and other techniques that are considered outside the scope of practice among massage therapists. Perhaps other states will soon follow. The Board clarified that continuing education provider with energy works modalities only count as 12 hours towards continuing education hours for current renewal. Ms. Clay motioned, Mr. Seagraves seconded, and the Board voted unanimously in favor of the motion to only accept continuing education that is within the scope of practice starting Nov 1, 2014. Specifically the Board will not accept: Energy Practices, Structural Integration, Reflexology and Movement Practices. sos.ga.gov/plb/acrobat/BoardMinutes/massage/20140228.pdf
