1. Please do not register for this training unless you mean to legitimately complete it. Training must be 100% completed to earn CE credit and reporting.

We report fully completed 24 CE packages to CE Broker every 48 hours, and we report them daily during the last 15 days of August.

2. Students must purchase training with their own payment method in their licensed name which MATCHES their license # for CE reporting. Please do not allow anyone other than the student/licensee to purchase, contribute, take or complete any element of this training. Self-reporting your own CE hours is required when your licensed name does not match your registered student name.

3. This massively discounted 24 CE package includes everything an active FL MT requires to renew their license for the Aug 31, 2025, 2023 & 2021 renewal periods, including the "hands-on"/relevant to massage CE credit that used to be required live, in-person. This package can NOT be used towards Florida's Aug 31, 2027 renewal, and is only eligible for FL MT Board & NCBTMB CE credit. Because FL LMT laws training is included in this package, it is NOT eligible for CE credit with other boards.

5. These 24 CE packages must be completed within 31-days from the minute of purchase before they automatically expire/deactivate. Please immediately start training  after purchase, because training extensions are not available for any reason, including tech issues.

6. Training is 100% prerecorded videos, quizzes and a survey which you can watch/take 24/7, until your course access expires. Students can take their quizzes as many times as needed until passing, or until their course access expires. The boards require a passing grade of 70%.

7. Course subjects are automatically provided in a specific order that cannot be changed. Please purchase courses separately if you wish to take your training in a different order.

8. All 24 CE hours of training must be completed online, in our home study system for CE credit. The videos we use to teach this training are not distributed offline and cannot be downloaded. Students can download a large amount of companion training pdf files to keep forever during their course access time.

9. Our automated computers email a training course access link immediately after purchase. You can also login to your paid training at lms.CeInstitute.com with your registered email address, and then use the "Forgot Password" link if you did not set up a password, or cannot remember it.

10. Please email us at info@CeInstitute.com if you require assistance. We provide customer support via email 7-days per week. We do not provide phone support. Please keep your communications to one email thread which will help us respond faster than reviewing/responding to multiple emails under different threads. We always answer emails within 24 hours and most are answered much quicker when a student requires urgent assistance during training.  Please watch and follow ALL training instructions first, which usually eliminates any need for additional support.

Training includes working with athletes and teaches a basic sports massage event routine and other athletically inclined work.  Half of this course is focused upon Sports Massage Event Training, including:

• Sporting Massage Event Intake Process
• How to setup for Sporting Event Massage
• How to Perform Quick Turnover & Sanitation Techniques at Sporting Events
• A 10-15 minutes Sports Massage Routine to be performed clothed at Sporting Events

• Review of Thermal Therapy & Cryotherapy Practices in Sports (includes how to make cyrotherapy packs from household goods for sports strains and sprains)
• Recognizing Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke in Athletes

The last half of this hands-on workshop teaches you an intensive, effective stretching protocol for the upper body, which is taught by Ben Benjamin, PhD. Active Assisted Active Assisted Stretching (AAS) energizes the body, enhances the health of the tissues, increases flexibility, protects the body from injury, enhances the healing process, re-aligns the fascia and makes building strength more effective. Active Assisted Stretching is especially good for athletes, the elderly, and the injured, and can also benefit the neurologically impaired.

What sets AAS apart from other stretching routines is it is not overly strenuous to the practitioner and it is easy to learn.

The client actively participates in the stretching process, with a gentle, timed, targeted assist from the therapist at the end of every stretch to increase range of motion along with many other benefits. These techniques are much easier on the therapist’s body than massage and bodywork. 

The upper body stretches include the neck, shoulders, arms, wrists and hands.
