Massage

The Massage Therapy Program has two goals. The first is to instruct the student on the technical skills necessary to perform a professional standard Swedish Massage. The second goal is to introduce the student to the education needed to successfully pass the NCBTMB  or MBLEX(a national exam), in order to qualify for a Medical Quality Assurance license from the state of Florida. 

Program Description-This program will give the student instruction in the assessment, theory and hands-on application of a basic Swedish Massage. It will also instill a general knowledge of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and pathology. The professional standards expected in the massage field such as business, ethics and legal practices will be emphasized. To complete the program the student will be familiarized with other modalities related to this field. Demand for qualified massage therapists has continued to increase since the 1980s. Research continues to reveal the positive benefits of body therapy.
