Just Refreshed: AMTA’s Free Self-Care CE

Now featuring video, these updated courses will help improve learning and enhance your self-care routine

September 15, 2025

As health and wellness professionals who are dedicated to helping others, massage therapists need to remember to prioritize their own self-care, too. An AMTA survey revealed that about one-third of therapists have sustained an injury from performing massage, and upwards of 90% of therapists report being in pain at any given time. This makes self-care especially vital for both the personal health and professional longevity of massage therapists.

That’s why we are excited to share that, with the support of Massage Envy, we have revamped our Self-Care Continuing Education courses with videos and new images to make learning even more effective. We would like to thank Massage Envy for supporting our efforts to empower massage therapists!

“At Massage Envy, we recognize that massage therapists give so much of themselves in caring for others, and it’s essential they have the tools to care for their own well-being, too. That’s why we’re proud to support AMTA’s refreshed Self-Care CE courses, which provide therapists with practical strategies for long and healthy careers.”
