# The Benefits of a Massage Therapy Program

Do you have a way with your hands? Are your friends and family members
constantly asking for your magic touch to soothe their aching muscles? Would you
prefer a hands-on career allowing you to meet a variety of people and maintain
close client relationships? If you’re still reading you might be perfect for
Arizona College’s
[massage therapy program](https://www.arizonacollege.edu/all-programs/massage-therapy/)
. We equip motivated learners with the hands-on training and theoretical
guidance over a 35-week training program so they can fulfill their passion to
soothe in becoming massage therapists.

Learn more about the benefits of Arizona College’s Massage Therapy program
below.

**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.

**Your Career on Your Time**

Many people want to go to school but can’t afford to work less hours or quit
their job altogether. A major advantage of attending Arizona College’s massage
therapy school is the flexibility in class times offered. Students can choose
from either morning or evening classes, and sessions start every five weeks. For
individuals needing financial assistance, aid can be available for those that
qualify. Each student has access to Arizona College’s peer mentoring program, as
well as tutoring and open lab sessions by appointment. Each graduate of our
massage therapy school receives
