To many massage therapists, massage is more than just a job. To many, it is a way to help and connect with people in a way that helps the spirit as well as the body. Combining academic and technical skills with manual dexterity, sensitivity and a desire to help one's fellow man, massage therapy can be seen as a "healing art" that is as much a calling as it is a career.
At Everest College - Ontario, students learn all aspects of massage therapy as they train for careers in this increasingly popular field. This nine-month-long career training program prepares students to work as professional massage therapists in venues like doctor's offices, fitness centers, hotels, resorts, cruise ships and the growing number of day spas throughout Southern California. Taught by former massage therapy professionals, the course combines traditional classroom lectures with extensive "hands-on" training in which students learn sensitivity to their customers' problems, needs and expectations.
