An Emergency Restriction Order (ERO) is a critical measure the Florida Department of Health (DOH) takes when they believe a Certified Massage Therapist poses an immediate risk to public safety. Issued under Florida Statutes Chapters 20, 456, and 480, an ERO can limit or restrict a massage therapist’s ability to practice, often without prior notice. This can disrupt your livelihood and tarnish your professional reputation, even before you can defend yourself.

Common reasons for an ERO include allegations of unethical conduct, boundary violations, inappropriate behavior with clients, or issues related to substance abuse. While the situation can feel overwhelming, it’s important to remember that an ERO is not the final step. You have the right to contest the order and present your case in Florida’s Administrative Courts.
