Course Training Objectives:
Graduates of the Massage Therapist degree program are trained for a career as a Massage Therapist and work in health spas, fitness centers, resorts, cruise ships, private practice, and physician's offices. They also work closely with chiropractors and physical therapists.
Trained Massage Therapy students learn a variety of massage techniques including: Swedish massage, sports massage, myofascial release, reflexology, prenatal and infant massage, stone therapy, aroma therapy, salt and sugar scrub, and Chinese medicine.
Each instructor brings their expertise in various modalities to share with our students. Our certified instructors tutor students in all of their courses, as necessary.

In addition to course work and hands-on training, students will have an externship rotation in settings such as chiropractors' offices and spas, to complete their education and prepare them for a career as a Professional Massage Therapist. |
