Massage Therapy

Robertson’s Massage Therapy program was designed with the student in mind.  The program’s hybrid structure allows students to have greater control over their time while they are pursuing their diploma. Students build theoretical knowledge through Robertson’s online learning platform at times suitable for them. In-person training is scheduled intentionally so that students can maximize their time on campus to apply the knowledge they learned in the theoretical lessons. Students will complete approximately 60% of the program online and 40% in person.  This flexible arrangement lets students pursue massage therapy without disruptions to their current job or family commitments.

The Massage Therapy diploma program at Robertson takes an immersive and hands-on approach to prepare students for an exciting and fulfilling career within the healthcare sector.  Industry-experienced instructors lead students through the 120-week hybrid program which provides students with greater control of their time without compromising on in-person instruction and mentorship opportunities with their instructors.

The 120-week program is organized into 3 equal parts.

Section 1 provides students with foundational knowledge of the massage therapy field as well as the basic theory behind the profession.

In Section 2, these themes are further developed, and students begin their hands-on learning on campus. Under guidance from our industry experts, students begin to adopt and practice different massage therapy techniques while building muscle strength and memory.

Finally, in Section 3, more advanced techniques are covered, and students begin working at our on-site massage therapy clinic. Clinical hours are gradually increased throughout the program to allow students time to become accustomed, both physically and mentally, to the needs of the profession. The time spent in clinical practice allows students to gain real world experience working with actual clients within a clinic setting. All clinical sessions are supervised by a practicing RMT.
