Professional Massage Therapy Program
Details
Our curriculum has been designed to teach the art of massage therapy, while also teaching sound business practices which prepare our students for success in the marketplace. Students learn massage therapy theory and technique through traditional Swedish massage. We explore numerous body therapies which will enhance the student’s future practice. From sports massage to medical massage to spa treatments, we continuously emphasize correct body mechanics and proper movement.
In order for our students to have a solid technical and scientific understanding and a way to communicate with other health care professionals, we teach anatomy, physiology, medical terminology, kinesiology, biomechanics, and pathology.
The International Spa Institute not only prepares our students to become a knowledgeable and effective massage therapists but ensures that the skills they need to become successful in the marketplace as a private practitioner, independent contractor, employee or entrepreneur are taught as well.
Graduates will find they are equally comfortable in settings which emphasize prevention and stress reduction as they are in settings which focus on rehabilitation of soft tissue injuries or dysfunctions.
Upon meeting all of the requirements for graduation, a Certificate of Completion in Massage Therapy is granted and students will be eligible to take one of three state-approved exams: the National Certification Exam For Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCETMB), the National Certification Exam For Therapeutic Massage (NCETM), or the Massage & Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEx). After successfully passing the chosen exam, graduates may apply for a license to practice massage in the state of South Carolina.
