Continuing Education for Massage Therapists

Expert-Led CE Courses. Evidence-Based Practices. Real Results for Your Patients.

As a massage therapist, you’re more than a bodyworker — you are a movement scientist, pain‑relief specialist, and hands‑on healer who helps clients restore balance, reduce pain, and improve functional mobility. Through skilled touch, manual therapy, soft‑tissue work, cupping, and body‑work modalities, you play a key role in client wellness, recovery, and prevention of dysfunction.

At PESI, we understand the power and nuance of therapeutic touch. That’s why we partner with leading soft-tissue experts, clinical researchers, and licensed massage‑therapy instructors to deliver continuing education tailored specifically for massage therapists. Whether you work in spa settings, medical massage clinics, sports performance centers, or rehab settings, PESI’s CE courses give you the science, tools, and confidence to deepen your impact and keep your practice evolving.

What Is a Massage Therapist? The Role of a Massage Therapist 

Massage therapists are licensed or certified bodywork professionals who assess and treat clients with pain, mobility limitations, soft tissue restrictions, and movement impairments. Through manual therapy, fascial release, myofascial cupping, soft tissue mobilization, joint-assisted techniques, and therapeutic touch, massage therapists help restore tissue mobility, reduce pain and tension, improve circulation, and support overall wellness.

Whether practicing in a spa, sports medicine clinic, rehab center, orthopedics practice, or private wellness studio, massage therapists play a vital role in preventative care, rehabilitation, stress relief, and body maintenance. Your touch helps clients recover from injury, manage pain, improve performance, and maintain balance so they can move better and feel better every day.
