    Selecting Massage Therapy Continuing Education Classes
    By: Ariana Vincent, Ariana Institute, Austin, Texas

    There are many wonderful opportunities in the massage community designed to deepen your educational experience by participating in a classroom environment utilizing kinesthetic hands-on techniques or by participating in interesting and informative online massage therapy CE courses.

    Researching CE Requirements


    To begin your research, visit http://www.amtamassage.org/pdf/2006_StateLaws.pdf to obtain a list of state boards and CE requirements. This list is current as of November 20, 2007, so check with your individual state board to verify current requirements.

    Here are examples of continuing education requirements:

    • Texas DSHS: The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Massage Therapy Division requires 12 CE hours every two year cycle.
    • NCBTMB: The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) requires 48 CE hours every 4 year recertification cycle.
    • AMTA: The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) Board Recertification Requirements require 48 CE hours every 4 years
    • ABMP: The Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals Recertification Requirements include 16 CE hours every two years or every other annual renewal

    Rules and regulations may vary by the city, state, county, region and may be subject to change. Each practitioner should assume responsibility for contacting the applicable massage therapy state licensing agency, NCBTMB, AMTA and/or ABMP to confirm that the online CE credit courses you are considering are acceptable for credit.

    Consider Which Courses Could be the Most Valuable to You and Your Clients

    If you are interested in working at a spa, contact several spas in your area and determine which CE courses would be best for you. Basic spas typically require good Swedish relaxation skills, deep tissue, sports, prenatal and hot stone. They may also require a good working knowledge of wraps and scrubs. Spas at the other end of the spectrum, for example The Crossings Wellness Spa in Austin, offer a wide assortment of services including Myofascial Therapy, CranioSacral Therapy, ShiroDhara, and Thai Massage.

    A private practitioner may benefit more from participating in advanced CE courses that would carve out an area of specialization unique to that therapist’s vision of his or her successful practice. For example, if you live in an area where equine massage is popular and viable, then a good equine massage course may be just the ticket. If you enjoy working with prenatal clients, then focus on prenatal massage CE classes. A good Practice Building and Marketing CE course would be a valuable asset.

    Determine whether or not you are at the stage in your career where you want to participate in classes that are easier on your body than more rigorous therapies. If this is the case, then you might consider focusing on classes such as Reiki, CranioSacral Therapy, Reflexology, Acupressure and Facial Massage.


    CE Class Location


    We are so fortunate that many awesome CE classes are offered nationally and internationally. Research classes that are offered in locations that are appealing to you or where you have family and friends you can visit. You could participate in classes in Austin, San Francisco, Sedona, Costa Rica, or Leicestershire, England.

    Online CE Classes

    First check with your state board and with NCBTMB, if applicable, to verify that online courses are accepted. Online courses that are acceptable in Texas, for example, must be cognitive in nature, and do not include the clinical application of theory pertaining to the practice of massage therapy or the manipulation of soft tissue. Some topics that may be of interest to you as online courses include Ethics, Practice Building, Pain Management, and Self Care.

    Research the CE Provider

    Take some time to check the credentials of the CE Provider to verify that the provider is qualified to offer the CE courses you are interesting in taking and to ensure that the provider has up-to-date licenses and/or certifications. Read the CE Provider’s website carefully and check references. Look for details on the website related to the course content; tuition; registration and payment process; class size; date, time and location of the courses; cancellation and refund policies; date of issuance of your CE certificate; whether or not you will have to bring your own table; number of students participating and CE provider contact information.

    Enjoy the Process

    If you like experiential hands-on classes where you’ll have an opportunity to exchange sessions with colleagues, check with your provider in advance to verify the ratio of hands-on practice to cognitive experiences. If you prefer a more cognitive class, ensure that is available to you before you register. If your preference is for classes of fewer than 300 participants, be sure and ask up front how many students will be accepted in the class.

    View your CE classes in a positive light as wonderful opportunities to learn, grow and network with like-minded therapists with whom you can build a sense of community and have fun in the process.

    Dear Donielle - Thanks so much for your post. Here is Tom's URL: http://www.anatomytrains.com/at/people/tom-myers and here is additional information about him. Warmly, Ariana Vincent, Ariana Institute, www.arianainstitute.com

    Tom Myers

    Thomas Myers studied directly with Drs. Ida Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Buckminster Fuller. He has also studied less extensively with movement teachers Judith Aston, Emilie Conrad, and in the martial arts. His work is influenced by cranial, visceral, and intrinsic movement studies he made with European schools of osteopathy.

    An inveterate traveler, Tom has practiced integrative manual therapy for over 30 years in a variety of clinical and cultural settings, including 10 years in London, and traveling practices in Hamburg, Rome, Nairobi, and Sydney, as well as a dozen locales in the US. He is a member of the International Association of Structural Integrators (IASI).

    Author of Anatomy Trains (Elsevier 2001) and a set of supporting videos, Tom has also penned over 60 articles for trade magazines and journals on anatomy, soft tissue manipulation, and the social scourge of somatic alienation and loss of reliance on kinesthetic intelligence.

    A certified Touch-in-Parenting instructor, Tom retains a strong interest in peri-natal issues relating to movement.

    Living on the coast of Maine, Tom directs Kinesis, which conducts professional certification and continuing education courses worldwide.

    To all my colleagues: Can anyone that went through the CEU certification process for the specific course they teach tell me where to get the information to get it started? I have been teaching at a school but would like to start also my own seminars offering CEUs.
  • Gloria Coppola

    Rene
    You can get an application from the NCBTMB. That is the provider approval that most states accept. Also many states require you to get approval specifically from them, Like Florida. They use CE broker. Nebraska requires you submit your class to them separately too. Check into the state(s) you want to teach your class
  • Ariana Vincent, LMT, MTI, BCTMB

    Dear Rene -

    If you are interested in offering independent Continuing Education courses, first check with your State Board regarding the requirements in your state.

    The requirements vary from state to state.

    If you want to teach outside of your state, then check with the State Board of each state in which you want to teach to determine their requirements.

    Being an NCBTMB approved provider does not guarantee that you can offer CE courses in every state. Each state has its own requirements.

    This URL can be very helpful in researching the information: http://www.massagetherapy.com/careers/stateboards.php.

    Please continue to post if you would like additional support.

    Best wishes to you in your ongoing success and service to the massage community.

    Return to Source: Lomilomi Training & Healing Retreat, Kauai March 18-28.

    “The traditional Hawaiian approach to bodywork holds the premise that body mind and spirit (trinity) participate in its evolution-healing. The work creates a temple... a sacred space..a connecting space. ..opening and clearing the emotional body.” - Harry Uhane Jim

    Many people practice Lomilomi, but few really understand it.

    This retreat unveils LomiLomi Temple Style, one of the most popular and intriguing massages to facilitate and receive. Its form is often new-age interpretative, taught and applied with other spiritual forms of healing, bridging the healing arts of Hawaii with alternative and complimentary traditions from around the world.’

    During “Return to Source” Retreat we go back to the Roots & Truth of healing, discuss that which is authentic or inauthentic, and demystify the secrets of true healing.

    E Komo Mai. Take The Voyage.

  • Damian Matthews

    It is interesting to me, the fair price for ceu's. What is being taught? Who is the instructor? What qualifies the instructor to teach? These factors come in to play as we ponder a fair price for education. As an instructor what is my motivation for wanting to teach? What am I sharing? Latley, I have been suprised by all the trademarking of personal techniques as something new to be owned by one person. As a body worker of any brand, there are only a handful of biological principals that we can effect. In fact, we as practioners of the healing arts truly do nothing. All we do is add a little heat, a little pressure, stimulate the piezoelectric current and the weak electromagnetic field. The client precieves these sensations and reacts based on the sum total of their experiences. The same may be said about the doctor, the stitches may be applied to the cut but the body heals the wound. This concept takes ego out of healing. It is the nature of life to heal. What gives me the right to trade mark biology.
  • Marjorie Brook

    Hello Everyone.
    I have a question for all of you. I am currently scouting locations for a series of classes. I have found that when the food is included and you do not have to go out the class time flows better everyone seems happier. Which would you prefer a seminar that includes meals/break snacks/ coffe for a higher fee or just the seminar and food is up to you for a lower fee?
  • Barbara Helynn Heard

    Thank you Damian for your thoughts on trademarking modalities. I've shared some of your thoughts in the past.

    I now teach Mana Lomi®, a trademarked form of lomilomi or Hawaiian bodywork developed by Mana Lomi® founder Dr. Maka'ala Yates, D.C., drawing on his lineage of teachers. Dr. Yates trademarked Mana Lomi® in order to support it's integrity - to maintain it as a body of work and especially to susain its connection with its lineage and source.

    Various lomilomi styles are now practiced worldwide. Lomilomi was initially shared outside of the indigenous Hawaiian community in the 70's as part of a still on-going native Hawaiian cutural renassaince. This renaissance is revuvenating aspects of Hawaiian culture such as language, celestial navigation, Hawaiian values, healing arts, hula and more. These cultural practices have been systematically attacked or suppressed during the past 200 years via religious and political events in Hawaii related to the effects of Western contact on the originally land based, indigenous Hawaiian culture.

    For the past 40 years some lomilomi training taught and practiced outside of Hawaii has lost connection to its original teachers and developed over time into a modality that some indigenous Hawaiian healers strongly prefer would not be identified, and marketed, as Hawaiian. I am aware of some intense pain and strong resentment related to the concept of cultural theft on this issue in the Hawaiian community.

    Using trademark registration is one tool to maintain Mana Lomi® healing bodywor in tact so that it can be passed to future generations rather than simply blending together with other, also effective but not Hawaiian, modalities of bodywork.

    I hope my comments may shed a bit of light on the subject of trademarking bodywork modalities. I'm interested in reflections others may have on this subject.

    Aloha,
