Our Teachers:
All of our instructors have many years of experience and enjoy what they do. They are all certified to teach. You will learn a great deal and will have a lot of fun at the same time. Doctors of Chiropractic teach our Anatomy/Physiology Classes. We hire Doctors so you will have an expert teach you anatomy and sports related injuries and how to treat them successfully. Most massage schools did not do this because it costs a lot more to do so.
Our goal is to promote massage as one of the healing arts. Our focus is to have our students and teachers work closely together and have an enjoyable learning experience. To prepare our students for their own professional, ethical massage therapy practices or employment in the massage industry.
