"Open your hands to the future"

Owner’s Message

Massage therapy is the second fastest growing occupation according to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics.  Recent news articles state that the need for massage therapists has doubled in the past few years.  People are turning towards alternative methods of stress relief especially various modalities of massage therapy.  The demand for massage therapy at spas and medical massage therapists has grown in recent years.  A truly professional massage school is necessary to meet the needs of the increased demand for massage therapy instruction. Our students, after graduating, depending upon their interests and chosen curriculum, have a variety of career options open to them.  The massage therapist can work in such healthcare facilities as fitness centers, rehabilitation centers, physical therapy clinics, medical clinics such as: chiropractic, neurology, podiatry, OB/GYN, and dentistry.  We offer advanced class work in clinical massage, sports massage, spa techniques, and energy work.  All students who have successfully completed the 500-hour Basic Massage Therapy Program and who pass state boards can work as licensed massage therapists.  With their state license, students can build a private practice.  It is becoming more common for nurses and physical therapists to become massage therapists to provide treatment to their clients/patients.
