Is colonic therapy included under the Practice Act?
No. The Board will not regulate the practice of that modality. The legal definition of massage and bodywork therapy in the Practice Act refers to: complementary methods, including the external application of water, heat, cold, lubricants, and other topical preparations. You may review the document List of modalities requiring a licensure in North Carolina located in the Document Center for a list of modalities that the Board has determined is within the scope of practice of a licensed massage and bodywork therapist.
