I always enjoyed giving shoulder rubs. Then one time a friend said to
me, "Why don't you do this for a living?" I was stunned. I couldn't come
up with a single reason not to go to massage school.
Once I started school, I really felt like I was "home." I knew it was
what I was meant to do.

Cortiva Institute is devoted to raising the standards of massage therapy
education. 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 here, you'll benefit from a comprehensive
combination of hands-on classroom instruction, clinic work and community
outreach. After graduation, we'll continue to support you with ongoing
learning opportunities through continuing education, lectures and workshops.
Our Tampa Massage Therapy Certification Program takes a holistic and hands-on
approach to massage. You'll be challenged and inspired to create your
own special 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
Master fundamental techniques in a classroom setting and practice these
methods 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 the field of massage therapy. 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 your clients.
Professional Development
This coursework rounds out your educational experience with the business
basics necessary to succeed as a professional therapist. 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.
