The Standards within the massage profession give us a guideline for the educational pathways that massage therapists must take to qualify in their field. The Standards, massage therapists are expected to have a detailed knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. They’re also required to have well-developed assessment and observational skills and expertise in a range of techniques. Further, I am expected to complete at least 20 hours (depending on the different association codes) of continuing professional development each year. This ensures therapists are current with their skills and they are constantly learning new ways of doing things.
