Hands on Application of Medical Massage
This 78-hour course will allow students to combine previously learned techniques and use clinical reasoning while applying these techniques to assess and help resolve issues associated with the Nervous and Musculo-skeletal systems. This course follows hand in hand with pathology so that students will learn the specific pathology while learning the hands-on skills needed to help solve said pathology.
Massage School Clinicals
Student clinicals are designed to give you, the student, an opportunity to practice the skills you have learned in class on the local community. This will allow for a broader range of feedback on your skills and progression as a therapist. This 125-hour class starts on the third week of the program and will be held on weekends.
