This program is offered exclusively at the Atlanta campus.

Professional Responsibilities

Massage Therapists apply their training to the areas of overall health promotion, stress reduction, pain management and injury recovery. Massage is a healing art as well as a science. It requires both academic and technical knowledge, clinical skills, manual dexterity, and sensitivity. To become a Massage Therapist, you must have the desire to help others, as well as a commitment to investing the time and energy to develop the required skills.

Our Curriculum

Your training at Herzing College, prepares you to observe and assess the client's musculoskeletal system, then propose and implement a treatment plan. In addition to health care training, students are provided with a small business start-up curriculum for future entrepreneurial opportunities and self-employment.

After completion of the program, students will be eligible to take the Certified Massage Therapist exam offered by the National Certifying Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).

That's why each Herzing graduate works personally with our Employment Services Department to identify employment opportunities in Massage Therapy. Massage Therapists can be found employed with physicians, chiropractors, acupuncturists, dentists, and physical therapists or in particular specialties such as sports medicine and health clubs
