As an educator, I share my knowledge and witness as students make this
knowledge their own through the learning process. You learn the material
and make it your own. The beauty of massage is that we each have the opportunity
to develop our own unique style and special way of touching others. This
too, inspires me.

Cortiva Institute - Boston ("Cortiva Institute") in
the Boston area is devoted to raising the standards of massage therapy
education. We believe science and technique alone aren't enough. Through
a comprehensive approach to massage therapy training – incorporating
both science and spirit – we prepare our students for successful
practices in many different professional settings.
Our curriculum is grounded in the belief that scientific foundations and
inspirational, real-life experiences create passionate massage therapy
professionals. As a student, you'll benefit from a combination of hands-on
classroom instruction, clinic work and community outreach. After graduation,
we continue to support you with ongoing learning opportunities through
continuing education, lectures and workshops.
Our Massage Therapy Certification Program is a holistic and hands-on approach
to massage. You'll be challenged and inspired to create your own unique
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:
Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology
Coursework 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.
Massage Therapy and Practice
Master 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 enjoy a long and healthy
career. In addition to your Theory and Practice courses, training in the
Student Clinic and in our Community Outreach program will further prepare
you to interact with clients.
Professional Development
This coursework rounds out your education with business basics necessary
to succeed as a massage therapy professional. With the help of your instructors,
you define your goals and target the right markets for a successful practice.
With exercises in setting goals, writing a resume, creating a business
plan, marketing, advertising and self-management, you'll walk away with
the tools necessary to establish your own practice or apply for jobs upon
graduation.
