Membership in the Florida State Massage Therapy Association has many excellent benefits to help enhance your professional career.

Your membership is valid for a full twelve months from the time your application is processed and 100% of your membership dues go to the promotion and protection of the massage therapy profession in the state of Florida. Upon joining the FSMTA, you are automatically a member of your local chapter at no extra cost.

The cost for 1 year of membership is $125. New members and members who expired more than 30 days ago must also pay a $15 application or late fee. You can save money on your annual membership dues by pre-paying for multiple years. The cost is $230 for 2 years of $300 for 3 years.

Membership does not include insurance. We keep the membership and insurance separate and offer customized coverage in an effort to be as flexible as possible and enable more people to participate in the association.
