Sarah Wreszin 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 – is devoted to raising the standards of massage therapy education nationwide. Science and technique alone aren't enough. 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 professional settings.

Our curriculum is grounded in our belief that scientific foundations and inspirational, real-life experiences create passionate massage therapy professionals. As a student at Cortiva or as a client in our Scottsdale, Arizona massage therapy clinic, you'll benefit from a comprehensive combination of hands-on classroom instruction, clinic work and community outreach. Beyond graduation, we'll continue to support you with ongoing learning opportunities through continuing education, lectures and workshops.

Our Massage Therapy Diploma Program is a holistic and hands-on approach to massage. You'll be challenged and inspired to develop 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 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
Learn fundamental techniques in a classroom 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 help prepare you to interact with clients.

Professional Development
This coursework rounds out your educational experience. You learn exercises in goal setting, writing a resume, creating a business plan, marketing, advertising, and self-management. We give you the business basics necessary to succeed as a professional. With the guidance of your Instructors, you'll define your goals and target markets for a successful practice. Of course, it goes beyond just lectures and discussions. You'll walk away with the basic tools to establish your own practice or apply for jobs upon graduation.
