In addition, you’ll gain an understanding of the psychological effects of massage and the health, activity and nutritional aspects of professional massage treatments.

Learning takes place in a real-world industry environment and includes clinical practice hours during which you’ll apply and refine your massage techniques.

Career Outcomes
