Therapeutic Massage Practitioner Certificate
This program teaches the necessary skills for applications and treatment goals of muscular and general relaxation, stress reduction, pain management, recovery from injury, health promotion, education, and body awareness. The successful practitioner must, therefore, be proficient at more than a simple massage; he or she must understand the body and its functions, master a variety of techniques, and hone such skills as client assessment, communication, and self-evaluation. Upon completion of this program, students may transfer all earned credits toward the Therapeutic and Clinical Massage - Associate of Applied Science degree program.

Therapeutic and Clinical Massage AAS
This program provides students with an understanding of the body and its functions, and teaches relevant massage techniques and therapeutic skills. These include, but are not limited to, specialized massage such as sports massage, therapeutic massage, neuromuscular therapy, and kinesiology. Skills for client-therapist relations, communication, and promotion complete this well-rounded degree that prepares the student for entry into massage career opportunities and to pursue national certification.
