Swedish Massage
Cortiva Institute is your source for learning about Swedish massage therapy.
At Cortiva, you'll be trained in Swedish massage techniques as a
foundation to the healing art of massage. Students are trained in
several in-depth types of therapeutic massage. At our nationwide family
of schools, Swedish massage is taught as a fundamental method, and it
is the main healing touch many clients think of when they think of massage.
Swedish massage, sometimes referred to as "therapeutic massage",
is a popular style of massage. It increases oxygen flow in the bloodstream
and releases toxins that build up in the muscles. By increasing circulation,
this form of massage can held speed up recovery time from sports injuries,
while relieving stress and soothing the overall nervous system.
Our practitioners learn a wide range of healing methods and undergo a
comprehensive massage certification program. Come explore your Swedish
massage school options online with Cortiva.

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.
