675 Hours/34 Credits The Therapeutic Massage Program is considered to be an entry-level program for a career in therapeutic massage. This program is designed to train the student in personal service and wellness massage.Massage is a non-specific systematic stroking, kneading and frictioning of the soft tissues of the body. Massage, through its bodywork and related energy-based techniques, can support effective body functions and thus benefit the healing process. It is not involved in the diagnosis of conditions or in the specific treatment process. A massage technician does not work in the exacting parameters of the clinical medical setting nor deal with specific rehabilitation without supervision. Job opportunities at the entry level are found in massage clinics, health spas, athletic clubs, full-service cosmetology businesses, cruise ships, corporate stress reduction programs, private practice for stress reduction massage, and general stress reduction massage under close supervision of medical personnel such as physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists.As the foundation for all programs at HEC, students are introduced and exposed to a wide range of techniques and modalities including relaxation massage, therapeutic procedures, sports massage, and much more.
The Advanced Practitioner Program is considered to be an intermediate-level program for expanded job opportunities in the career of therapeutic massage and builds on the entry-level program training for personal service wellness massage. Earning the designation of Advanced Practitioner better prepares the student to deal with a more complex set of problems presented by the client to the massage practitioner. This training prepares the graduate for intermediate-level employment in a broader job market and provides the additional training required to work within the health services, and medical environment. Specific focus is placed on assessment skills, care plan development and clinical skills necessary to work successfully with special populations and complex conditions.
The Master Bodywork Therapist Program (MBT) is considered to be an advanced-level program and takes up to 24 months to complete. This training expands job opportunities in the career of therapeutic massage by building on the intermediate-level program training for health services and wellness massage. Earning the designation of Master Bodywork Therapist better prepares the student to deal with a more complex set of problems presented by the client to the massage therapist and to teach therapeutic massage.
