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.
The AMTA Pennsylvania Chapter holds an Annual Conference once a year at various locations across the state. We also have educational workshops at each of the regional unit locations. We know that licensure will require continuing education and we will continue to provide that to you our members. We look forward to seeing you soon.
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!
