Program Information
Built on national standards and accredited by the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA), this 675-hour certificate program presents entry-level and advanced skills in the art and science of therapeutic massage. This comprehensive, clinical based program is designed to prepare students to integrate with other health care practitioners and establish independent business in this growing complementary health care profession. Massage therapists are employed by hospitals, chiropractic offices, physical therapy clinics, rehabilitation centers, athletic teams, health clubs, spas, and hotel resorts.
The principles of human anatomy, physiology, pathology, and human movement are presented and built upon throughout the program. Professional standards and ethics, client assessment, practical application techniques, self-care, and business strategies are also integrated. The UAA Massage Therapy Clinic offers the opportunity for students to practice their communication, assessment, and application skills with the guidance of our instructors.
