Our mission is to provide the educational environment in our massage courses (Massage Therapy and Bodywork programs) that enhance the education and personal enrichment of all students.

The Advanced Bodyworker program is an extensive course in Massage Therapy modalities with an emphasis on wellness, pathology, massage protocols and the business skills necessary to manage and maintain a massage therapy business.

The objective is to provide massage courses that provide the necessary knowledge and technique to maintain a career in performing an extensive therapeutic massage with a focus on the resources necessary to develop enhanced business and career goals. A Medical Massage & Research project has been added to the training program. Students will be given the opportunity to work with clients with various medical conditions who may benefit from ongoing massage treatments.

Upon successful completion of this program, the graduate will receive an Associate in Specialized Technology (AST) degree and is prepared for a new career in the field of massage therapy, utilizing advanced bodywork modalities.

Pennsylvania massage employment opportunities are plentiful as are national demands for qualified massage therapists and advanced bodyworkers. Note: Pennsylvania massage employees are aware that currently the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has no specific regulations for those practicing as massage therapists. Students graduating from massage courses should be aware that regulations vary from state to state and the Pennylvania massage student is responsible for meeting the training requirements in the state he/she wishes to practice.
