Texas Massage CE Renewal Made Simple: Barefoot Massage Training for LMTs

As a Texas massage therapist, I couldn't believe that it's almost time to renew my license for the 22nd year this January. My colleague Bridgette and I were just talking about the CEs we need for renewal, which isn't usually a problem for me, since I've got a long list of CEs I want to take every year. However, keeping up with your CE renewal can feel stressful. Between managing your practice, caring for clients, and balancing life, the last thing you want is a last-minute scramble for CE hours. I've started a new blog series discussing CE requirements for Texas and neighboring states. This way, we can keep up with renewal information, and I can share how I can help you stay current and inspired as an LMT. Read the Arkansas CE requirements post here. 

With barefoot massage CE courses through the Center for Barefoot Massage, you can meet your Texas CE requirements and learn techniques that protect your body while delivering incredible results for clients.

Common Pain Points for Texas LMTsIf you’ve been practicing a while, you know the struggles:

• Deadline creep → forgetting your license anniversary until it’s too late.
• Body burnout → sore thumbs, wrists, and back from years of deep tissue work
• Uninspiring CE courses → taking classes just to “check the box” instead of learning something valuable.
• Insurance worries → making sure your techniques are safe and defensible if ever questioned.

Sound familiar? That’s exactly why our barefoot massage CE trainings were created.

Why Barefoot Massage CE is Different
Instead of grinding down your hands and shortening your career, barefoot massage lets you:

• Deliver deep, effective pressure with your feet.
• Protect your hands, wrists, and back.
• Stand out in your market with a unique skill clients love
• Feel confident knowing you’re practicing a safe, body-saving technique.

We offer three levels of training designed for Texas massage therapists:
✅ FasciAshi Fundamentals: Your introduction to barefoot massage. Learn safe, effective strokes and begin using your feet in practice right away.

​
Each workshop counts toward your 12 CE hours required by TDLR.

If you’re an Arkansas LMT, you know the drill: 18 CE hours every two years, with only 6 allowed online. That means at least 12 hours must be live and hands-on. And yes, the Arkansas State Board conducts audits, so you need to keep your certificates organized.
This may feel overwhelming, especially with a busy client schedule, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right plan, CE can be engaging, inspiring, and even a highlight of your year.

We’ve heard it from countless therapists:

• Finding approved live CE classes that fit your schedule can be tricky.
  
• Sending in CE certificates during audits adds stress you don’t need.
  
• Many CE courses feel like “check-the-box” events with little practical value.
  

It doesn’t have to be this way. You can meet your CE requirements and come away with skills that improve your practice and protect your body.

Imagine this: You arrive at a FasciAshi or Fijian Barefoot Massage workshop and step onto the mat, ready to learn techniques that will reduce strain on your hands, wrists, and back. You spend the day mastering barefoot techniques, practicing sequences with other therapists, and leaving with more energy than you came in with.
By the end of the weekend, you will have:

• All live hours count toward Arkansas CE requirements
• Audit-ready proof of training you can file within two weeks
• Practical skills your clients will notice and appreciate

Plus, travel is easy to attend workshops in Texas. Many of our Arkansas LMTs make a short drive or quick flight to Dallas Love Field to take advantage of weekend workshops. Check out this handy guide for traveling here. The classes are structured so you can complete your full CE requirements in one weekend, reducing time away from clients and making the process stress-free.

• 6 months before your birth month: Register for a barefoot massage workshop
  
• 3 months before: Complete any remaining hours or optional advanced sessions
  
• Renewal month: Submit CE certificates and renew with confidence
  

This approach keeps you ahead of deadlines and ensures you never have to scramble at the last minute.

Unlike traditional CE, barefoot massage teaches you skills that protect your body while enhancing your practice. Completing these courses means:

• You reduce repetitive strain and fatigue
  
• Your clients receive a deep, pain science infused, evidence-based massage that stands out
  
• You gain CE hours efficiently, often in just one weekend
  

It’s CE that leaves you energized, inspired, and ready to practice safely for years to come.

Stop worrying about deadlines, audits, or boring online classes. Complete your Arkansas CE hours with hands-on barefoot massage workshops at the Center for Barefoot Massage, either locally or with a quick trip to Texas, and come away with skills that last a lifetime.
