What is Massage Therapy?
Massage Therapy is the manipulation of soft tissue for therapeutic purposes. Massage therapy can reduce stress and anxiety, relax muscles, rehabilitate injuries, reduce pain, and promote overall health and wellness.
Why Study Massage Therapy?
Deepak Chopra says, "Everyone needs a minimal daily dose of touch." Studying massage therapy can change your life and the lives of those you touch.
As a massage therapist, you'll be equipped to build a career in massage clinics, chiropractic offices, doctor offices, health clinics, health clubs, fitness centers, nursing homes, hospitals, hotels/motels, cruise lines, and resorts or spas.
