The program provides a foundation in both basic and advanced approaches, including Swedish massage, sports massage, neuromuscular and myofascial techniques, deep tissue massage, chair massage, and hydrotherapy.

The curriculum also provides instruction in the applied sciences, including courses in anatomy and physiology, to give students a solid, technical, scientific understanding of the body – so that they can serve their clients well and be able to communicate with other health care professionals.

The Professional Massage Therapy Program is designed to provide students with knowledge of and experience with a wide variety of bodywork modalities, enabling them to sit for the National Certification Exam or Massage & Bodywork Licensing Exam and be in demand with employers of all kinds.
