The Massage Therapy Certificate program prepares students to become Massachusetts state licensed massage therapists with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide effective relaxation and wellness massage. Students develop professional communication and behavior as well as the skilled, compassionate touch expected of entry-level massage therapists. In addition, students apply knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology to provide safe and effective client-centered massage therapy sessions. 

 

Graduates of the program are prepared to enter various settings such as spas, franchise clinics, fitness centers, medical/wellness offices, workplaces and clients' homes.
