Continuing Education for Massage Therapists

Why Choose Grit City Health for CE?

Elevate your skills, expand your practice, and earn CE credits with engaging, practical courses designed for massage therapists like you.

As a practicing massage therapist with years of hands-on experience, I understand the challenges of balancing professional growth with a busy schedule. These private CE courses are designed to deliver actionable techniques and fresh perspectives in a way that prioritizes your needs as both a learner and a practitioner.

In a private session, you are the sole focus of the demonstration, ensuring that every technique is applied directly to you. This means you’ll receive personalized attention and ample hands-on work, giving you a firsthand understanding of the methods and their impact.

With this private format, you not only gain practical skills but also RECEIVE the kind of focused bodywork that most massage therapists rarely get enough of. Why not take this opportunity to invest in your professional growth while experiencing the same care and expertise you provide for your clients? You’ll leave with new techniques, fresh insights, and valuable CE credits—all in a single, cost-effective experience.

I developed these CE courses from the style of practice I’ve refined over years of working in the industry. After taking a CE course myself, I thought, why can’t we earn CE credits by experiencing bodywork from different practitioners? That question sparked the idea for these courses.

Rather than the usual classroom setting, these sessions break down the work I do into an informative, hands-on experience—where you’re not just learning the techniques, but feeling them in action. By focusing on one person per session, the learning is immersive, personal, and immediately valuable.

I’m excited to share this unique learning experience with you through my Private Session CE Courses—designed to enhance your skills while letting you experience the work firsthand.

What’s Included?

Each Course is Thoughtfully Crafted to Enhance Your Skills and Confidence

• Topic-Focused Content: Dive deep into key techniques and concepts in concise, engaging 2-hour sessions. Designed to maximize learning, these sessions blend hands-on experience with clear, actionable insights you can immediately integrate into your practice.

• Hands-On Practice: Experience a dynamic 50–80 minute session where I’ll work with you directly, demonstrating techniques while providing insights into their application, benefits, and background. This immersive approach allows you to feel the work firsthand while actively learning.

  If you feel comfortable, we can switch roles mid-session, giving you the chance to apply what you’ve learned in a supportive, low-pressure setting. Prefer to stay in the recipient role? No problem—I’ll continue working with you, introducing additional techniques, refining your understanding, and answering your questions. Whether practicing, observing, or discussing, you’ll leave with practical knowledge and confidence.

• Comprehensive Resources: You’ll receive a detailed, thoughtfully designed handout with guidance, visual references, and key takeaways to support your continued growth.

• Interactive Q&A: Ask questions in real time to deepen your connection to the work. Each session concludes with a focused 15-minute Q&A, dedicated to refining techniques, exploring applications, and ensuring you leave with clarity and confidence.

• Certificate of Completion: Upon finishing the course, you’ll receive a CE Certificate, recognizing your commitment to professional growth and hands-on learning.

Courses Offered

• Functional Movement Assessments, and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in Massage Therapy

  A practical course on using movement assessments and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, helping clients build awareness and connection to their bodies during sessions. Learn to integrate movement assessments into your practice to identify patterns, imbalances, and areas needing focus for more effective treatments.
  

• Active Recovery for the Lower Body by Blending Movement, Stretching, and Sports Massage Techniques

  Focus on techniques tailored to lower body focused athletes (runners, cyclists, etc.), blending recovery massage with methods to support performance and reduce injury risk. Explore how to combine manual stretching with massage therapy to improve client outcomes, targeting mobility, flexibility, and functional movement.
  

• Working with the Back and Spine… While Supine:

  Specialized techniques for addressing tension and overuse common in clients with upper-body-intensive professions or activities. Learn how to work smarter and more precise without using your elbows to properly assess and release the spinal extensors and supporters, all while your client is supine, fully clothed, and mobile.
  

• Learn by Feeling: A Guided Massage Education for Therapists

  This course is designed for massage therapists who want to learn through experience—by receiving a guided, educational massage rather than a standard hands-on exchange. Instead of switching between giving and receiving, you will be on the table for the entire session, allowing for real-time discussion and insight as you experience functional movement integration, PNF techniques, and targeted bodywork.
  

All courses are designed to fit into your schedule within a single 2-hour commitment.

• Cost/Duration: $160 for a 2 hour private CE session
