The Massage Ther- apy program builds strong foundational skills for students, equipping them with the tools necessary to succeed in the Massage Therapy Industry. Focus is placed on structural massage – the ability to couple and apply a deep understanding of anatomy with powerful tissue sculpting techniques in order to create radical change in the body. Students learn how to use hands, fingers, forearms, knuckles, fists and elbows when working with the soft tissues of the body. While the program centers heavily on anatomy, Swedish massage and deep tissue massage, it rounds out your education with exposure to Asian modalities, sports massage, pregnancy massage and business classes. This program provides the training necessary for success in the massage therapy industry regardless of the setting: private practice, spas, fitness centers, sports teams, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and chiropractic offices. Program Notes: You may apply for graduation from the Massage Therapy program upon successfully completion of your program hours and a score of 80% or higher. Completion of the program does not guarantee you a Massage Therapy License (in any state). The Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy may deny the application if they determine the requirements for citizenship and/or criminal background are not met. If you have any concerns about citizenship status and/or a criminal background, you are encouraged to immediately contact the Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy via its website: HTTPS://MASSAGETHERAPY.AZ.GOV, give full disclosure of the situation, and save any written response.
