Massage Continuing Education
Massage Continuing Education is an important part of becoming a
successful massage therapist and is often required as a part of renewing
your massage license or National Certification. Be sure you check your
requirements and know what you need to take.
Here are my favorite
Online classes:
Intro to Deep Tissue Massage
- Based on the book by the same name by Art Rigs. This is not a
hands on class but an overview of what is taught in deep tissue massage
training. Deep tissue massage is a very specific tool that can enhance
your practice and provide value to your massage allowing you to charge more
for your sessions.
Body Psychology
- Based on the Book The Psychology of the Body by Elliot Greene.
Massage School teaches you about the physical aspects of the body but often
neglects to address the emotional issues and holding patterns created by
emotional suppression and repression. Knowing how to handle such
situations can help you to keep clear boundaries during sessions while
supporting clients through emotional release.
Massage Insurance Billing Manual - by Vivian Madison Mahoney is
required
if you are considering getting into the world of billing insurance companies
for your massage services. You need to know exactly what to do to make
billing as efficient (and painless!) as possible. Billing codes,
filling out forms, charting, how to get paid, building a network of provider
referrals and figuring out what to charge are part of this 24 hour CE
package.
