Massage Therapy Research Courses from NCBTMB Approved Online Continuing Education Provider Now Available
Plano, TX (PRWEB) July 16, 2013 -- In response to new continuing education requirements set by the National Certification Board For Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) for research, approved provider HomeCEUConnection.com introduces five courses to their online catalog.
"The new research requirement comes from the NCBTMB's commitment to raising the standards and providing legitimacy to the entire massage therapy profession by ensuring consistency and accuracy in all future massage therapy literature and education," explains Anne Osborn, owner of HomeCEUConnection.com. "A commitment that our company echoes when we introduce new courses like these to our online catalog."
The five new courses offer learning in two distinct formats, text or video. All courses allow therapists to the option receive their material through the mail or a digital download and the ability to complete exams online for instant grading.
For massage therapists looking for the most engaging way to complete their research requirement, HomeCEUConnection.com suggests "Orthopedic Mythbusting", a video based course from renowned massage therapist and continuing education presenter Lu Mueller-Kaul.
