NCRA Legislation
The North Carolina Reflexology Association is currently resisting the attempts by the North Carolina Board of Massage and Bodywork Therapy and their legal advisors to regulate the reflexology profession as though it were a form of massage, claiming that reflexology is being used as a front for human trafficking operations.
In the nearly 30 year history of ARCB, there has NEVER been an ARCB certificant charged or suspected of involvement in any illicit activity.
Our Mission
Our mission is to unite Professional Reflexologists with a communication network, consider legislative issues, continuing education opportunities as well as to inform the public, friends and benefactors of reflexology about the benefits and scientific research being currently and recently conducted.
