About
The Integrative Healthcare Institute is one of the largest online libraries of massage therapy continuing education (CEU) courses, with over 150 offerings designed to help licensed massage therapists fulfill professional renewal requirements. The platform is approved by the NCBTMB (National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork) as a CE Approved Provider, and its courses are widely accepted by ABMP, AMTA, and the majority of U.S. state licensing boards. Students can choose between fully online coursework — with 24/7 access, immediate test results, and instant certificate printing — or traditional home-study formats that ship physical textbooks, DVDs, and testing materials by mail. A hybrid option combining both delivery methods is also available. All materials remain accessible for future reference with no expiration. IHI's knowledgeable course advisors specialize in CEU requirements across regulatory bodies and can help therapists select the right courses, navigate board requirements, and complete their CE journey. Every course comes with a 90-day, 100% money-back guarantee. In addition to its course catalog, IHI publishes the *Massage Professionals Update* newsletter, offering industry news, client session tips, and business-growth strategies. The platform is ideal for practicing massage therapists seeking flexible, self-paced professional development that expands clinical skills while satisfying licensure renewal demands.
