In order to practice massage therapy after April 1, 2009, you must be registered with the state. The background check may take up to 12 weeks to be processed through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation so don't delay in getting your fingerprints form completed. In addition to the complete information at the DORA web site, you can also get additional details in a fact sheet and information sheet about grandfathering on our website. Grandfathering will end 12/31/2009. Full registration will be in effect 1/1/2010.
