This Certificate program provides
the student with the knowledge of the most common
form of massage in North America. The graduate of
the program will have competent knowledge of Swedish
Relaxation Massage as well as an introduction to manual
lymph drainage and the ability to work independently

Massage Therapy Diploma Program (1300 hours)
Most students are already practicing
relaxation massage when they enter this program. In
addition to the Swedish relaxation massage certificate,
you may want to expand your education at our Calgary
institute to obtain your massage therapy diploma.
This program is held over a period
of 44 weeks. It includes 11 weekends of classroom
study of practical skills and lectures, a home study
and practicum component.
The massage therapy degree training
program provides the student with an opportunity to
learn therapeutic massage training including: deep
tissue massage, fascia release, stretching, history
taking, orthopedic assessment and treatment of pathologies
of the entire musculoskeletal system. These skills
provide the ability to treat whiplash, headaches,
low back pain, and many other conditions normally
treated by highly qualified Massage Therapists. They
also learn how to work closely with other healthcare
professionals such as Medical Doctors, Chiropractors,
and Physiotherapists. With the cutbacks to the healthcare
system many employers now provide insurance that includes
massage therapy, this has created a demand for massage
therapy like never before. Upon completion of this
program, graduates should be successful in challenging
the entrance exam of any organization of massage in
Alberta or Saskatchewan.
