Our Therapeutic Massage program is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of massage, including basic techniques of Swedish massage through hands-on training, as well as education in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, chair massage, and ethical practices in massage therapy. As the program progresses, students will study advanced therapeutic massage techniques to increase fundamental knowledge of massage therapy. Continued education in kinesiology, introduction to pathology, assessment skills, somatic psychology, and business management skills will be covered, and clinical skills will be assessed in preparation for licensure.
Upon program completion, students should have a foundation for practice as an entry-level professional massage therapist and be prepared to take the state and national massage therapy licensing exams.
