Physical
Therapy Aide (50 hours)
This concentrated program teaches the student to utilize
the ancient art of massage with modern Physical Therapy
techniques and equipment in cases of sport related injuries
or other back and limb disorders. Graduates can start working
immediately. No additional licenses are required.
Massage
Therapist (120 hours)
A massage is not just a cosmetic tool that makes people
feel "relaxed". This course teaches students how to perform
healing, medical massages. Upon graduation, our students
can either apply for licenses in most cities, and once approved,
they can start their own private practices, or work for
a licensed therapist or doctor.
Massage
Therapist & Physical Therapy Aide Combined Program (170
hours)
As more and more people rely on Massage Therapists to relieve
back and neck pains, as well as other joint disorders, due
to stress or accidents, our graduates learn the medical
massage methods to treat these patients. A combined program
that gives students two certificates upon completion.
Chiropractor
Assistant (250 hours)
Chiropractor Assistants are medical specialists that work
under the supervision of the Chiropractor, Physical Therapist,
or a Medical Doctor. They physically rehabilitate the patient
through therapeutic exercises, electric muscle stimulation,
and medical or therapeutic massages. They work daily with
multiple clients that suffer back and limb disorders, or
other physical ailments. This job is usually non-stressful,
due to the nature of work. Also the practitioners report
deep satisfaction in their field due to the gratitude from
patients whose pain they relieved.
