Acupressure Point, Acupressure Massage

This is your online resource for discovering the benefits of acupressure massage therapy.

Cortiva Institute's student and professional massage practitioners are trained in using acupressure points as an integral part of the healing art of massage.

Acupressure is a Chinese massage technique based on using the body's meridians to open points and allow blocked energies to flow more freely. By firmly pressing key points, the massage therapist stimulates the body's natural curative powers. The aim is to stimulate your body's own self-healing vital energies, and promote your body's system to aid healing.

At Cortiva massage schools, therapists are taught acupressure, as well as a variety of healing methods, and undergo a comprehensive massage certification program. Find out more about how Cortiva trains our students for rewarding careers in massage therapy.

When I found Cortiva Institute, I realized I was home. The program sparked my curiosity and fed my enthusiasm for this profession. Becoming a muscular therapist (and now a teacher) has changed my life. I now have the opportunity to touch many lives in a profound way and teach others to do the same.

Through a comprehensive approach to massage therapy training – one that incorporates the best of both science and spirit – we prepare our students for successful practices in many different fields. Cortiva Institute is devoted to elevating the standards of massage therapy education.

As a student here, you'll benefit from a comprehensive combination of hands-on classroom instruction, learning a range of techniques; you'll be involved in clinic work and community outreach. After graduation, we'll continue to support you with ongoing learning opportunities through continuing education, lectures and workshops. Our curriculum is grounded in the belief that scientific foundations and inspirational, real-life experiences create passionate massage professionals.

Our Massage Therapy Diploma Program is a holistic and hands-on approach to massage. You'll be challenged and inspired to create your own special career path, whether that means working in a hospital, clinic, spa, health club, or your own private practice. Training covers three top areas of study:

Massage Therapy and Practice
Learn fundamental techniques in a classroom setting and practice them in a supervised and supportive environment. We also provide training in body mechanics and self-care so that you can have a long and healthy career. In addition to your Theory and Practice courses, hands-on training in the Student Clinic and in our Community Outreach program will further prepare you to interact with clients.

Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology
Coursework in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology provides a solid foundation in understanding the structure, function and health of the human body. You'll learn proper medical terminology that is actively reinforced in classroom experiences.

Professional Development
With exercises in goal setting, writing a resume, creating a business plan, marketing, advertising, and self-management you'll walk away with the basic tools to establish your own practice or apply for jobs upon graduation. You'll learn the business basics you need to become a successful massage therapist in whatever discipline you choose.
