When I found the Muscular Therapy 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.

Cortiva Institute – Massage Therapy ("Cortiva") is devoted
to raising the standards of physical massagetherapy education. We start
with the belief that science and technique alone aren't enough.
Through a comprehensive approach to massage therapy training – incorporating
the best of both science and spirit – we prepare our students for
successful practices in many different professional environments.
Our curriculum is grounded in our understanding that scientific foundations
and inspirational, real-life experiences create passionate massage therapy
professionals. As a student at Cortiva, you'll benefit from a comprehensive
combination of hands-on classroom instruction, clinic work and community
outreach experience.
Our Massage Therapy Diploma Program is based on 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 in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology provides a solid foundation
in a fundamental 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, productive
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
and advertising your business, and self-management you'll walk away with
the basic tools to establish your own practice or apply for jobs upon
graduation.
