REACH courses facilitate ongoing learning aligned with state requirements, remediation, and professional development. REACH was developed to provide additional educational resources to massage and bodywork therapy professionals and assist state massage boards. All REACH courses meet FSMTB Continuing Education Standards, which expert representatives from regulatory boards created.
