Massage Therapy Program

Course Description

As a clinical Massage Therapist, students at Southeastern Esthetics Institute learn how to apply massage techniques to treat soft tissue injuries, chronic pain and myofascial injury, and structural and postural distortions. Massage Therapy is a very REWARDING career by way of relieving pain through therapeutic touch! Massage Therapists can work in a variety of settings – including spas, gyms, and healthcare settings. Some Massage Therapists may prefer to operate their own independent practice.

Southeastern Esthetics Institute provides its students with the most modern business knowledge and business ownership assistance for its graduates, as well as in-depth science knowledge and well-rounded clinical care education that sets our students apart!

Demand is growing for medical Massage Therapists in healthcare. As this profession advances to include assessment and treatment of most soft tissue injuries, clinical massage therapists are becoming more crucial to physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, and athletic trainers. A skilled Massage Therapist incorporating massage techniques for specific anatomical and physiological considerations can create better health outcomes and improve the patient experience.
