With features such as streaming videos, live chat rooms, animated graphics and more, today’s e-learning programs are a far cry from the distance education of the past. Instead of reading material alone, students now have the opportunity to participate in e-learning programs that bring the essence of the classroom alive on the computer screen. In fact, the latest trends in e-learning include those courses that take place completely online, so that these classes can be taken nearly anywhere in the world, as long as there is Internet access and a computer.

Students and professionals in fields across the board are beginning to benefit from such advances in the realm of e-learning. The ability to turn on one’s computer and start to learn new or more advanced skills means greater opportunity and mobility for a large number of people. Massage therapists and bodyworkers are no exception—these professionals can take advantage of e-learning programs to earn massage therapy CEUs with no need to commute to an in-person class or destination seminar. These online learning programs should provide the kind of high quality massage therapy videos that make one feel as if he or she is sitting right in front of the instructor.

For those massage therapists who are interested in learning more about effective methods for pain management among clients, Erik Dalton workshops are often a top choice for continuing education. With the development of online massage therapy workshops, it is now easier than ever to access this in-demand educator and gain detailed knowledge on the topic of Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques. Dalton’s signature modality, Myoskeletal Alignment includes deep tissue techniques, myofascial mobilization and joint stretching. The practitioner who learns these advanced myoskeletal skills can be well-equipped to address conditions that range from neck cricks and sciatica to rotator cuff tendinosis and plantar fasciitis pain.

Dalton’s massage therapy CE courses not only provide valuable information and numerous continuing education credits, but these classes also allow practitioners to earn and display the title of Certified Myoskeletal Therapist. In the past, taking such advanced massage training meant traveling to a destination seminar, usually in Oklahoma or Costa Rica. These in-person massage CE workshops remain quite popular and tend to sell out quickly, so the added option of distance learning comes in handy for those practitioners who cannot travel to or secure a spot in one of these massage certification workshops.

Within Dalton’s catalog of massage CE courses are three extensive distance learning programs that include books, such as Dynamic Body, along with top-notch videos, workbooks and other materials. These classes are titled “Lower Body Specialist,” “Upper Body Specialist” and “Posture & Pain Specialist.”

Those manual therapists who are interested in Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques also have another option that falls within the category of distance learning—the option to learn directly from Dalton through a CE program that takes place totally online. By designing this e-learning program, Dalton and his team aim to make these skills even more accessible to massage therapists and, in turn, their clients.
