Students
in the Massage Therapy Program develop the skills to
become clinical massage therapists. These practitioners
are trained for unique career opportunities such as
creating their own private practices, working in health
spas, chiropractic or sports clinics, hospitals,
rehabilitation labs, and other health care environments.
The profession of Massage Therapy and bodywork is
growing and the need for well-trained practitioners is
on the rise.
Our
program focuses on clinical proficiency, hands-on
manipulation of the body, and problem solving skills to
relate to the individual client needs. The curriculum
includes clinical anatomy and bodywork, massage
techniques, complementary therapies, clinical practice
and business professionalism and ethics.
Massage
therapy is the manual manipulation of the soft tissues
of the body to achieve various therapeutic outcomes.
Massage has many diverse physiological effects which are
primarily due to the therapist's application of various
stimulation and mechanical forces to the body tissues.
The different movements can physically stretch muscles,
ligaments, tendons and fascia, encourage the circulation
through the tissues, inhibit muscular spasms and be
either sedating or stimulating to the nervous system.
The therapeutic use of massage by a massage therapist
affects all the systems of the body in particular, the
muscular, circulatory, lymphatic (immune) and nervous
systems.
