Massage Therapist - Certificate Program

Massage therapists use professional touch in the application of massage techniques. Working independently or as part of the health care team, Massage Therapists provide various levels of care and support to their clients that include massage for pleasure and relaxation, as well as therapeutic massage for specific conditions such as carpal tunnel, low back pain, and headaches. Massage Therapists also provide services to special needs populations such as athletes, the elderly and pregnant women. In addition to proficiency in the practical application of massage techniques, Massage Therapists must have detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology, pathology, kinesiology, as well as strong interpersonal skills and professional ethics.
