Our 600 to 800-hour accelerated massage therapy curriculum provides a deep understanding of the human body and therapeutic techniques. Starting with anatomy and physiology, students gain essential knowledge of body functions. We then delve into kinesiology to learn about movement mechanics, enhancing client mobility and comfort. Students master Western massage techniques, including therapeutic relaxation, deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and positional release. Practical training is emphasized, ensuring proficiency in personalized massage therapies. Hands-on experience in our student clinic during the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters allows students to refine techniques, develop interpersonal skills, and build confidence under instructor supervision.
Our curriculum also covers pathology, ethics, and business skills, preparing graduates to navigate the professional landscape, adhere to ethical standards, and manage or start their own practices. We include craniosacral therapy to expand students' therapeutic skills, promoting overall health and balance through gentle touch. In the final phase, students undergo board preparation for the MBLEx national licensing exam, with review sessions, practice tests, and study strategies ensuring readiness for certification. Our program offers flexibility to meet diverse state licensing requirements, with options to extend education to 625, 640, 660, 700, 725, 750, or 800 hours. This adaptability allows students to tailor their education, fulfilling state criteria and gaining a competitive edge in their careers.
