| Academy of Massage Therapy has been helping serious students of massage therapy realize their dreams of becoming professional massage therapists since 1990. We believe that creating a successful career in massage therapy involves: |
|
 |
Attaining a high level of technical skill in a variety of modalities to help people with a variety of conditions and to promote health; |
|
Having accurate knowledge of the human body and how it functions to be able to work effectively and confidently with other health care providers in various situations, from alternative holistic models to traditional medical models; |
|
Developing the necessary personal skills, including compassion, presence, communication, flexibility, dedication, creativity and self-awareness to work effectively with others and to achieve one’s own goals. |
|
|
Since educational backgrounds and learning skills differ from person to person, we’ve developed a curriculum that accommodates kinesthetic, auditory and visual learners. Our supportive staff and faculty help and encourage all who present a sincere desire to learn and achieve.
