Medical Arts School, Natural Healers

Welcome!

There are many reasons for a person to make the leap to learn the skills necessary for a career in massage therapy. Our students typically tell us the following reasons why they chose massage and why they chose the Medical Arts School.

1. They wanted to be a positive influence for others and be able to make a difference in others' lives.
2. They always seemed to have a knack for massage.
3. They have the future goal of working for themselves.

The Medical Arts School was founded in February, 1996, by Jerry I. Goynias, Licensed Physical Therapist. Based on his experience employing massage therapists in his physical therapy pain clinic, he identified a need for massage therapists with more extensive training in anatomy and western clinical medical massage technique. The Medical Arts School moved to its spacious new quarters in North Raleigh in June, 2000. The school remains a private institution, operating under the guidance and direction of the Program Director.

Since 1998, The Medical Arts School has been accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training (ACCET). Originally approved by the North Carolina Community College System, the school is now approved and governed by the North Carolina Board of Massage and Bodywork Therapy for massage therapy.

The Medical Arts School has approx 10,000 square feet of space, including three large classrooms, a computer lab, a student break room, a student resource center, library, on-site clinic rooms and administrative offices. Classes are conducted in spacious, climate-controlled classrooms. The classrooms contain up-to-date instructional equipment, including TV, VCR, overhead projector, charts, anatomical models, and treatment tables. Enrollment is limited to 36 students in medical assisting and medical office administration classes, and 24 students in all hands-on massage classes. Teaching assistants are used in classes with an enrollment greater than 15 students, thus enabling each student to receive adequate personal attention while learning technique.

Now, for a little information about our Massage Therapy program. The purpose of the program is to train you, the therapist, to be able to work in a variety of environments. We have had graduates work in many areas, from the relaxing day spas to the rigorous environments of chiropractic offices to natural health clinics. Our program is more clinical in application (versus being spa-based) and includes a solid foundation in learning the structure of the human body including classes in Anatomy and Physiology, Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Kinesiology and Pathology. Our "signature" course is Trigger Point Therapy, which is a very specific form of clinical, therapeutic massage that treats the cause of muscle related conditions.
