The Argument for Massage Continuing Education

An opportunity to improve your career and yourself is a great argument if you need one to help you make the decision to gain some continued education. The U. S. population is getting older and facing an increased incidence in medical conditions that can benefit from specialized massage therapy and therapeutic bodywork. Getting that training can put you in the enviable position of being the massage professional who has all the requisite skills to work with the aging population and still take care of your other clients.

Benefits of taking continued education include:

• Expanding your therapy offerings
• Getting more clients
• Serving clients better
• Making more money
• Increasing one’s abilities to assess client’s problems quickly, and having a toolbox of therapies to apply
• Gaining community exposure and a network through interactions with other massage therapists
• Gaining referrals
• Filling a niche market
• Filling continued education credits required by some states, or national certification agencies
• Learning more about body mechanics

Take some time and reflect on your current clients and their needs. Are there any types of massage therapy or therapeutic bodywork that you think you need training or refreshing in your skills that would help you?
