Our Massage Therapy Diploma 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 main areas of
study:
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.
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, hands-on 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 educational experience with the business
basics necessary to succeed as a professional. With the help of your Instructors,
you'll define your goals and target markets for a successful practice.
Of course, it goes beyond just lectures and discussions. 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.
