Hands-On Training from Experienced Therapists
It’s hard to turn your soft hands into a masseuse’s perfection without the guidance of our seasoned instructors and real-world equipment to learn from. Our massage therapist students take full advantage of massage tables, chairs, anatomy charts, human skeletons, anatomical DVDs and even hot stones as part of their hands-on massage therapy training.
Deep Theoretical Knowledge of Human Body
Knowing where to put your hands is only the half of it. Our students learn a comprehensive background in Anatomy and Physiology through labs and lectures to gain insight into how each movement affects the human body, including postural alignments and structural dysfunctions. Our curriculum also includes courses on Massage Theory and Techniques; such as the Swedish Massage; Sports and Injury Massage; Lower Body Palpations; Eastern and Energetic Approaches; Spine and Thorax Palpations; just to name a few.
Entrepreneurial-Minded
One of the exciting benefits of attending a massage therapy school is the opportunity to have your own massage therapist practice later on. We offer Business and Marketing classes so students can promote their services once they’ve completed their training and become certified. So get ready to work on your services pitch, or start envisioning what your massage therapy practice will look like in the future.
