Our mission is to provide the educational environment in our massage courses (Massage Therapy and Bodywork programs) that enhance the education and personal enrichment of all students.

The Therapeutic Massage Technician massage course is an advanced program in Swedish Massage with an emphasis on therapeutic techniques and modalities. Therapeutic Massage involves the manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress in addition to promoting health and wellness.

The massage course objective is to provide the student with the necessary knowledge and technique to maintain a career in performing an extensive therapeutic massage consistent with alleviating these conditions. Upon successful completion of this massage course, the graduate will receive a diploma and is prepared for a new career in the field of massage therapy.

Note: Pennsylvania massage employees are aware that currently the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has no specific regulations for those practicing as massage therapists. Students graduating from massage courses should be aware that regulations vary from state to state and the Pennsylvania massage student is responsible for meeting the training requirements in the state he/she wishes to practice.
