Massage Therapy (Accelerated) is a three-year Ontario College Advanced Diploma program offered in an accelerated format over two years. Students will learn to maintain, rehabilitate, and augment physical function to relieve pain. Students will be able to master their skills within the student-run clinic. Graduates will feel confident entering the workforce by having a strong understanding of massage theory and practice.
With a strong focus on medical knowledge, you’ll master your massage skills in the student-run clinic, where you’ll experiment with many hands-on techniques. You’ll also learn, first-hand, how to assess your clients and their needs, as well as how to maintain, rehabilitate, and augment physical function to relieve pain. You’ll also study massage theory and practice while experimenting with different types of massage techniques such as sport, clinical, therapeutic, and pregnancy
The professional faculty will provide students with a high-calibre experience. Students will learn the “assessment of the soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissues of the body and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, or relieve pain,” as according to The Massage Therapy Act of Ontario.
Theory and practice are integral to the program, and students will be exposed to directly learning the skills of a Massage Therapist in the first level. Many adjunct therapies to the Massage Therapist will be studied, including sports massage, clinical massage, pregnancy massage and more.
