Massage Therapy Continuing Education

Online Massage Therapy CEU

As a practicing massage therapist in the province of Ontario, Canada you are required to maintain 30 CEU’s for every three years you have a general certificate as mandated by the CMTO.

If you are from outside of the province your requirements most likely are different.

Continuing massage therapy education information is now more readily available compared to before because of the invention of the internet.

There are now more massage therapy continuing education online CEU’s that are easily accessible to be downloaded to your computer or iphone or ipad.

Imagine that instead of ordering a DVD set that will take time to get packaged and shipped, you now have the opportunity to watch new techniques on your computer or mobile phone almost immediately after download.

Generally, if you know how to fill out your name, address, phone number etc., you can order a downloadable massage therapy CEU course straight to your computer.

3 Benefits of Continuing Education for Massage Therapists

Specialization

Massage therapy continuing education classes can help teach you new ways to better serve specific needs of your clients, which in turn can mean more clients and a bigger bottom line.

Massage therapy CEU’s give you the opportunity to specialize in one area and develop a positive reputation in both the home and massage communities. Perhaps you could be the go to person for chronic pain.

The wider and more advanced range of knowledge that massage therapists receive through continuing education classes often equates with more earning power, whether you are working in your own private practice or as an independent contractor or employee of a big business franchise.

Networking

A major bonus in taking massage therapy continuing education courses is the opportunity to mingle, socialize and network with other like minded people.

This is a nice break from spending time in isolation regardless if you are in private practice or at a multi-disciplinary clinic.

Receiving Treatment

In these massage therapy continuing education courses you have the opportunity to receive treatment as compared to always giving treatment.

This is a nice break from the grind of your daily schedule.

These courses also give you time to reflect on where you are with your practice and the direction you want it to go.

Bonus Benefit – Travel the World

Last but definitely not least, there is also the opportunity to travel. Some massage CEU courses that are usually two or three days long are made into five day courses with instruction in the morning and free time in the afternoon.
This allows you to travel and have a “working” holiday.
