hands-on massage therapy training for RMTs | CEUs
learning is most impactful when it’s felt — not just studied.
the hands-on learning path at continuing kneads offers immersive, in-person workshops for registered massage therapists who want to refine their touch, technique, and clinical confidence.
Each CEU-approved course blends therapeutic effectiveness, sustainable deep tissue choices as well as fascia inspired, mobility and stretch therapy methods. Exploratory in nature, sessions are often taught in a demo & repeat style through guided practice and real-time feedback. Our workshop models emphasize experiential learning from a somatically inspired language to therapeutic strategies that you can take straight to the treatment room.
Whether you join us in Halifax, Dartmouth, or Montreal or beyond, you’ll gain the tactile insight that only hands-on continuing education can deliver.
Our approach centers on direct experience. You’ll work alongside skilled instructors who emphasize technique refinement, safe body mechanics, and practical integration into your existing practice. From gliding techniques to fascia-inspired approaches and Thai-inspired stretching every course builds skill through meditative touch and awareness.
