Varsity Tutors can set massage therapists up with effective, personalized MBLEx test prep. We can set you up with an MBLEx course where you are the center of attention and helping you feel as prepared as possible for test day is the only goal. We'd love to tell you all about it, so reach out to our Educational Directors today or keep on reading below.
The FSMTB (Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards) created the Massage & Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx) as a service to the profession and to the community of people who utilize massage therapy services. An MBLEx certification indicates that a practicing massage therapist has the abilities and knowledge to operate or participate in a massage therapy business safely, competently, and in allegiance to regulation and ethics. 49 states and territories require licensure or certification, and MBLEx prep is a great way to develop the skills you need for this potentially impactful exam.
MBLEx tutors can focus your individualized sessions around you and your needs. Whether you need to develop better skills in planning a business and managing an office, brush up on range of motion and other aspects of kinesiology, or build on clinical reasoning skills, your MBLEx prep instructor can accommodate you.
There's plenty of information to cover in your personalized MBLEx class. Here is a list of just some of the things you can review during MBLEx test preparation:
MBLEx Topics (non-exhaustive list)
- System structure and function - respiratory, circulatory, skeletal, etc.
- Psychological aspects and benefits of touch
- Proprioceptors
- Range of motion
- Pathology related contraindications
- Benefits of soft tissue manipulation for specific client populations
- Client consultation and evaluation
- Visual assessment
- Range of motion assessment
- Professional communication
- Confidentiality
- Code of ethics violations
- Proper and safe use of equipment and supplies
- Injury prevention
- Draping
- Business Practices
MBLEx tutoring is substantive and catered to your needs. If you feel confident in some areas and not others, your MBLEx test prep instructor can make sessions efficient by customizing lessons around any gaps in knowledge. MBLEx classes can include explanations, working through practice problems, talking things out on the whiteboard, or using any other methods that tend to work for you. MBLEx prep instructors can modify their approach to match your learning style and work at your pace to ensure you understand a concept in physiology before moving on to something else. MBLEx test preparation is all about making sure you're always working on your biggest opportunities to improve.
MBLEx courses are also convenient. At Varsity Tutors, we make every effort to find a tutor with the proper skills to help you with your needs while accommodating your schedule as much as possible. We also provide you with the opportunity to study with your MBLEx test prep instructor using our online Live Learning Platform. You can use video chat and a virtual whiteboard in this innovative tool to have face to face sessions with your MBLEx prep instructor from the comfort of your own home.
MBLEx preparation doesn't have to be something you go through alone. Let Varsity tutors set you up in a personalized MBLEx test prep course so you can get the proper attention from a dedicated private instructor on the areas of the exam where you have the most opportunity to raise your score. Reach out to the Educational Directors at Varsity Tutors today to start the process. We're excited to provide you with the MBLEx test prep that you deserve.
