Keep in mind that the course structure in all the orthopedic massage courses is flexible enough that even if you have something else going on during that 6 week period (like a vacation) you can still work around that schedule to make the course work for you.

Each Orthopedic Massage E-learning course awards 40 CE hours and the cost is $350 plus the two required textbooks (Orthopedic Assessment in Massage Therapy and Orthopedic Massage: Theory & Technique).

Please note that all activities in this course are asynchronous (they can be done at any time). We have people in many different time zones and you can contribute to the interactive work whenever it works for you. The only time constraint is that there will be assignments that need to be completed each week, but when during the week you work on them is up to you.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT TIME COMMITMENT:
This is not your typical online course. It is a highly involved course where you interact extensively with other learners because it is designed to teach complex clinical decision-making. You should plan on spending about 5-6 hours per week on the course during the 6 week period. It is a good amount of time, but you'll reap great rewards from your participation in the course!

Technical Specifications:

There are some technical specifications you should be aware of that will help you work most effectively with this e-learning program. They are listed below.

• It is best if you have a high-speed internet connection for the course, although it is not mandatory. We have attempted to keep activities to a minimum that involve large file sizes so those on a dial-up connection will not have long download periods. However, following our initial survey an overwhelming number of respondents stated they had broadband connections, so we want to use those capabilities as well.
• You should have a version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader so you can view pdf files. If you don’t have Acrobat reader on your computer you can get it as a free download from the Adobe website at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
• This course will work best if you are using a moderately new web browser. Please note that if you are on a Mac operating system there are some reported problems with the Safari browser and our course shell software. You are highly encouraged to use Firefox for the Mac as your web browser. These web browser versions should work just fine:
• Internet Explorer 6 or later
• Firefox 1 or later
• Netscape 7 or later
