The Myotherapy Institute is an educational institution dedicated to providing thorough research-based training in massage therapy while embracing that which has made the profession historically so attractive—the caring relationship that exists between therapist and client.

Instruction at the Institute is designed to blend these two aspects of massage therapy—the clinical and the empathetic with the goal of preparing students to acquire a mastery of technique while encouraging them to remain sensitive to the whole needs of individuals who come to therapy seeking treatment.

In order that the student have a solid technical and scientific understanding and a way to communicate with allied health professionals, the Institute offers courses in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathology, sociology, communication, fine arts, hydrotherapy, business, and massage and bodywork.
