Massage Therapy

Stautzenberger offers many benefits to the student who is interested in a dynamic and fulfilling career in Massage Therapy. In today’s ever-changing health field, the demand of the Massage Therapist to interact with a wide variety of health professionals has become increasingly important. Today’s therapist will communicate with doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists, just to name a few.

In order to equip the student to compete in this challenging atmosphere, Stautzenberger Health & Wellness Institute has developed a program to meet these demands.

In addition to a strong foundational curriculum, we have added the following material:
Body Mechanics: In order to protect the longevity of our careers as a Massage Therapist, a basic knowledge of proper body mechanics is a must. Instructors will reinforce these skills throughout your stay at Stautzenberger.

Contraindications: As a massage Therapist you can offer tremendous benefits to your clients, however you must also be equipped with sufficient knowledge of the few conditions for which massage is contraindicated. During the course of your career at Stautzenberger you will learn those conditions and put that knowledge into practice by developing SOAP charts on clients during the hands-on portion of your program.

Massage Clinic: As a student at Stautzenberger, you will learn first hand, the skills needed to operate a successful private practice. You will act as the owner of your own business by handling clients as they arrive for appointments in our clinic, including taking client health profiles, developing SOAP charts and handling payments and offering receipts under the supervision of your instructor.

This teaching methodology provides our students with optimum learning tools, setting the Massage Therapy Program at Stautzenberger a cut above the rest.

The Massage Therapy program provides an education in the science of massage therapy with emphasis on the highest academic and practice standards. Stautzenberger’s commitment is to the science of the body, and the relationship of body and mind. The overall program is designed to enable the practitioner to develop viable occupational skills and to use massage as a means of health improvement, injury rehabilitation and pain relief. We seek to have our students become more competent, independent and cooperative and to understand and accept themselves and others. This humanistic approach is the overall guiding principle of the massage therapy program.

To graduate, the student must achieve a minimum grade of “B” in all MAS courses.
