              The use of ASTR tools or IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is crucial for gaining access to deeper structures that are otherwise unapproachable when using hands or foam rollers. Not only does IASTM improve the efficacy and outcomes of massage therapy but it also reduces physical strain on the massage therapist. ASTR tools and MagnaHeal devices are integral parts of the ASTR treatment of pain and inflammation.  <\/p>\n

              After completion of each course, the massage therapists will be provided with their CEU certificate that can be submitted to their respective licensure boards for approval. For massage therapy, the CEUs are approved by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). NCBTMB accreditation will allow individuals to be recognized as board-certified and equipped with adequate skills and knowledge as required by the licensing bodies. [3<\/a>]<\/p>\n

              NCBTMB Requirements of CEU for Massage Therapists <\/b><\/h2>\n

              To become a board-certified massage therapist, one must fulfill the following requirements. <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. The therapist must obtain a degree from a school assigned by NCBTMB.<\/li>\n
              2. The therapist must verify that he\/she is legally practicing in his\/her state.<\/li>\n
              3. The therapist must complete the application that includes an agreement to Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, criminal background verification conducted by NCBTMB, and submit the application payment. <\/li>\n
              4. The therapist must clear the board certification exam. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                For board-certified massage therapists, NCBTMB requires a minimum of 24 CEUs and criminal background verification for license renewal. [4<\/a>]<\/p>\n

                Conclusion<\/b> <\/h3>\n

                CEUs serve as measuring units for the non-credit education programs and training acquired by the massage therapists. Several licensure boards across the country require variable CEUs to issue and renew the license of the massage therapists. ASTR institute provides comprehensive training to massage therapists and provides CEUs approved by the NCBTMB. <\/p>\n
