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.
