Choosing CPD Topics That Matter to Massage Australia (MA) Therapists

Massage therapists who are members of Massage Australia (MA) are required to complete CPD hours annually to maintain professional membership and continue delivering high-quality care. But not all CPD is created equal — the most valuable courses are those that address clinical issues therapists encounter in real practice.

Relevant CPD topics not only make it easier to stay compliant but also deepen your confidence as a practitioner, especially in areas where your clients need the most support.

High-Value CPD Topics for Massage Therapists

Here are some of the most searched-for and clinically relevant CPD topics for MA members looking to upskill:

• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Musculoskeletal Impacts
  Learn how to support clients with persistent fatigue, widespread pain, and exercise intolerance using informed, sensitive approaches.

• Upper Cross Syndrome and Postural Dysfunction
  A deep dive into common muscle imbalances of the neck, shoulders, and thoracic spine — ideal for therapists treating desk-bound clients.

• Sacroiliac Joint Pain and Pelvic Stability
  Understand the biomechanical challenges of SIJ dysfunction and the implications for manual therapy, especially in active or postnatal clients.

These courses help you gain practical insight into common client presentations, with each one backed by clinical literature and structured learning.
