IMA Massage Therapy

Continuing Education Requirements

To maintain IMA membership 16 massage therapy continuing education hours are required every 4 years for Practicing Memberships and every 2 years for Therapist Memberships.

The 16 massage continuing education hours must be earned through IMA approved vendors. However, a list of approved vendors is not available at this time. It is our understanding that members are being grandfathered into this requirement and may not need to completed these continuing education hours until 2010.

If you would like to verify this information, or have further questions regarding your massage therapy continuing education requirements, we suggest contacting the IMA directly. The telephone number for the IMA is 540-351-0800.

Remember, the Institute for Integrative Healthcare Studies is approved by the NCBTMB as a continuing education Approved Provider (#049478-00). All of our continuing education programs can be used for your National Certification renewal, with the exception of Nerve Mobilization.

You may also use our credits for other organizations you belong to such as the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) or Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).
