| The human body is wondrous machine. Learning the highly specialized and dynamic skills necessary to repair it is not only a science, but an art form. If you're excited by the opportunity to enhance your healing powers while providing a valuable service to those in need, the Massage Therapy (Accelerated) program will have your strong hands working in just two short years. With a strong focus on medical knowledge, you'll master your massage skills in the student-run clinic, where you'll experiment with many hands-on techniques. You'll also learn, first-hand, how to assess your clients and their needs, as well as how to maintain, rehabilitate, and augment physical function to relieve pain. You'll also study massage theory and practice, while experimenting with sport massage, clinical massage, and pregnancy massage techniques. As well, you'll be recommended to the CMTO for their entry exams to the profession.
When you graduate, your diverse and dynamic massage skills will be matched by the many career opportunities that will await - work as part of a healing team, on your own, on a cruise ship travelling the world. Your future is limitless and in your healing hands.
