Therapeutic Massage Program:

The 750 hour Therapeutic Massage Program is designed to prepare individuals for professional Massage Therapy positions. Students will receive an overview of the history and background of massage and acquire an awareness of how the human body is directly and indirectly affected by massage. Instruction will include learning the proper techniques in performing a Swedish massage; numerous opportunities will exist for students to practice their knowledge under their instructor's supervision. An integral part of each student's training involves participation in a 100 hour Internship at Laurel Highlands Therapeutic Academy. Eight to fourteen students will be enrolled per session; it is anticipated that this class size will permit students to obtain a thorough grasp of massage theory and techniques as well as the ability to receive personalized attention throughout their training experience.

Previous knowledge or experience in massage theory or techniques is not necessary for the Therapeutic Massage program.
