Massage Therapy is achieving widespread recognition as a valuable means to enhance a healthy lifestyle, with more people than ever integrating massage

into their health and fitness routine. 

Continuing education plays a major role in shaping our Massage Therapy profession.  89% of massage therapists take continuing education training so they

can maintain and improve their skills through advanced accredited training programs in various massage modalities. 

Pennsylvania's AMTA currently provides continuing education training a minimum of three times per year held in various locations throughout Pennsylvania.

The Spring education is held in Pittsburgh, the Summer in Harrisburg & the Fall in Philadelphia.This is a great way to earn contact hours and continuing education

credits while learning new state of the art, cutting edge procedures and techniques in the massage therapy field.

We strongly recommend and encourage all massage therapists to participate in our future educational workshop classes and support massage therapy as

an important contribution towards wellness by enhancing your abilities and knowledge today.  We look forward in assisting you to register for our awesome

upcoming educational workshops.  Please come join us & hope to see you there!
