Why Choose the Massage Studies Program?
Massage can play a vital role in the healing of the body from traumatic events or even just the daily grind of life. Massage therapists help people recover from serious injuries and reach their full physical potential by helping alleviate pain and stress in the musculoskeletal system.
Students in CPTC's Massage Studies program develop a strong foundation in Swedish massage and deep-tissue techniques. Clinical massage students benefit from advanced training in treatment applications and assessment, with varied teaching techniques addressing a wide variety of learning styles.
Students learn about the human body, self-awareness and healing stress-reduction strategies. Massage therapists are licensed health care providers in the state of Washington, and many are employed in medical settings.
The career potentials range from medical clinics to spas, sports teams, private practice and more. If you enjoy helping people overcome the physical strains of stress and injuries, a massage career might be a good fit for you.
