Atlantic County Healing Arts Institute

"Learning the mechanics of applying the various techniques of massage, along with the study of anatomy, physiology and related subjects, serve as a basic foundation for massage practitioners. However for massage to be therapeutically effective practitioners must utilize all aspects of sensory integration; we must listen with our hands! This enhanced level of communication must be exercised within appropriate medical and ethical guidelines. A holistic approach to massage can affect the mind, body and spirit in a positive healing way thereby making massage a healing art."

Therapeutic Massage

As the professional knows, massage therapy not only provides comfort and relaxation, which in itself can have a positve effect on one's health, but if properly applied it can promote the healing process of injury or illness.

Although massage therapy should never take the place of appropriate medical care and treatment, it is recognized as a form of complementary medicine.* As the recognition of the therapeutic benefits of massage increases so does the need for highly skilled therapists from reputable schools. There are many employment opportunities for a professional massage therapist who has performed well during his or her educational/training program.

ACHAI offers a hands-on, interactive 500-Hour Massage Therapy Certification Program for those interested in pursuing a career in massage therapy. Only the success of our students can adequately indicate the success of our Program.

ACHAI also serves clients and patients while enhancing the skills of not only massage therapists, but allied healthcare professionals as well.

If you are interested in mastering new techniques, or if you would like to get started exploring the field of massage, the diversity of our Workshops may appropriately serve your needs.
