Our mission is to help students earn legitimate CE credit for government relicensing purposes. We do have some requirements of our own to provide this. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS NONREFUNDABLE, TIME-SENSITIVE TRAINING UNLESS YOU READ AND FOLLOW: 

  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. Partial credit and CE reporting are NOT available to students who have incomplete training and/or attempt to fast forward or skip through our training videos. 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. 

  4. A laptop or desktop computer with stable internet connection is required to complete this computer based training. Please do not attempt to use lesser devices such as a cell phone or tablet with this online training.

  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.

This 24 CE FL LMT renewal package includes everything required to renew an active Florida Massage Therapist license.

  • Definition of what is a trigger point
  • How to find trigger points

  • Instructor demonstrations of individual trigger point application, entry point, amount of pressure to be used and length of time to hold trigger points
  • Hands-on practice time of trigger point application

  • Fascial Adhesions from Motorcycle Road Rash
  • Anteriorly Rotated Shoulder/Pecs

    During this training, we will palpate and treat trigger points on ourselves, prior to palpating, identifying and treating trigger points on a live model via instructor demonstration.  This self-exercise to find and identify trigger points on ourselves (with common trigger point referral patterns) can be accessed by your own hands, and in hard to reach places, can be accessed with a theracane.  For an **enhanced training experience**, students may want to purchase a therapy cane if they do not already have one. Therapy canes cost on average between $20 to $35, and they are a valuable lifelong tool a therapist can use to care for themselves.  You do not need a therapy cane to take this class; however, there are some trigger points you might not be able to reach on yourself during hands-on practice time without the cane.  The boards also do not require that you practice hands-on skills during the training to receive CE credit or a certificate - you're only requirement is to watch 100% of the training plus tests and survey.

    Your trigger point training will also include intra-oral work (briefly inside your own mouth). Students should have a way to sanitize their hands pre and post intra-oral work during the training. 

    We feel it is BEST to use your HANDS to practice trigger point therapy especially when working with clients.  However, we also feel that using a therapy cane will be valuable tool to find, feel and learn more about trigger point therapy during your training.

    For myofascial release hands-on skills training, live model practice time is available while viewing the instructor demonstrations. Students who do not have live models can practice on themselves or simply watch the instructor demonstrations.

    _____________

    This Trigger Point Therapy & Myofascial Release class was written by CE Institute LLC Founder, Selena Belisle.  Selena teaches the majority of Myofascial & Trigger Point classes at CE Institute LLC.  Instructor Wendy Langen often teaches our trigger point applications.

    Selena has been practicing massage therapy for over 30 years.  She started with sports massage in 1989 when she was competing on Team USA in the Athens Greece Olympic Stadium for her 1st World Championship title.  She went on to win 3 WAF World Titles in Arm Wresting and other various minor sport titles.  After the height of her professional athletic career, Selena sought formal “full body” massage therapy training in 1995 in a 1,000+ hour program at the Massage Institute of New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Performing myofascial release and trigger point therapy was a core part of the Massage Institute’s curriculum. Selena went on to receive multiple live class NMT Certifications from 1997 to 1999 in Paul St. John Neuromuscular Therapy.  One of the most basics foundations of our NMT work from the 1990s was to relieve trigger points for optimal function and well-being.  She has also completed live class certifications in Myofascial Release with John Barnes (1990s), Robert King (2001) and George Kousaleos of the CORE Institute (2000), plus a series of online introductory courses in Anatomy Trains with Tom Myers (2016), another series of online theoretical myofascial technique courses with Til Lachua (from 2015 to 2018) and several other clinical, pain relief, trigger point and myofascial online classes with Theresa Schmidt, DPT, MS, OCS, LMT, CEAS, CHY, DD (from 2016 to 2017), amongst many other live and online classes in various modalities.  You can view a more complete list of Selena’s accolades including her publications, training and experience by clicking HERE.

    Selena feels that it is often helpful to study Trigger Point Therapy & Myofascial Release modalities together – even though they are VERY DIFFERENT modalities and applications.  Selena has extensive experience in successfully applying these modalities when she worked on various athletes from the New England Patriots during the time that they succeeded to legendary superstar status.  Selena also created one of New England’s largest alternative health care clinics in the 1990s, where thousands of customers sought natural pain relief remedies with these modalities for an entire decade, prior to her successful sale of the business to another chiropractor in 2005. She also spent another 5-years training and managing a 2nd staff as a Newbury Street Spa Owner in Boston, MA from 2005 to 2010.  Selena’s industry work history, training and teaching experience would be difficult to surpass.

    CE Institute LLC prides itself in providing the very best of instructors and educational experiences for our students.  Sign-up today and prepare yourself for an incredible 5-star learning experience.
