I know how you feel. I am over 100 miles from the nearest Integrated, Naturopath, or Holistic physician.
I bless our quiet area and prefer living out in the sticks, but it makes a lot of things from medical practitioners to shopping beyond the basics, difficult.
As to the NMT, start asking around. NMT is a years-long series of courses. Practitioners certify by each course, which correspond to specific anatomical areas. Each course is expensive and multi-part, involving traveling to seminars for anywhere from a weekend to 4 days of hands on instruction. Therapists, PTs and even some chiropractors take these while also working. Your therapist might have had a few seminars, at least and might know others.
The techniques trickle down into the basic massage CEU courses, as well, often in abbreviated, but usually still effective forms. So therapists pick up techniques for specific problems and you never know what someone who is not certified might have still managed to pick up along the way.
