Massage therapy is one of the fastest growing health-care professions in the country, gaining the respect and acceptance of medical and related professions across the country. Recognized for its therapeutic effects, its is being incorporated as an adjunct therapy in many conventional western modalities and treatments.

The objective of the Therapeutic Massage Therapy Program is designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in the field of Massage Therapy.

A variety of job opportunities may be available to graduates of this program. As massage therapy is integrated more and more into the health care systems, entry-level jobs can be found in rehabilitation centers, physical therapy clinics, pain clinics and in medical offices for Neurology, Podiatry and Chiropractic. Jobs not related to health care directly can be found in spas, resorts, health clubs and on cruise ships. Many massage therapists operate independently.

Students who successfully complete the Therapeutic Massage Therapy Program will possess the necessary skills to take and pass the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEX) presented by the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB). The student will be academically eligible to apply for licensure with the Georgia Board of Massage Therapy and become employed as a massage therapist. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will be awarded a Certificate of Completion. Although this program is designed to prepare the student to take the certification exam, the Institute cannot guarantee the student will pass the exam or be approved by the Georgia Board of Massage Therapy for licensure.
