Clinical Massage Therapy Program

The Clinical Massage Therapy program at the Institute of Natural Health and Education is a 600-clock-hour professional training designed to prepare students with the clinical skills, academic foundation, and professional confidence required for entry into practice.

While students develop strong proficiency in relaxation massage, the program is intentionally structured around deeper clinical approaches that emphasize assessment, treatment planning, and outcome-focused care.

This educational model prepares graduates to work with diverse populations and client needs within a professional therapeutic setting.

Students receive training in adjunctive therapies that enhance and complement massage treatment, including foot reflexology, sports massage, and prenatal massage, while gaining experience working with special population clients who require thoughtful assessment and individualized care.

A distinctive feature of the INHE program is its introduction to Chinese therapy and acupressure, an educational component that expands clinical perspective and is not commonly integrated into traditional massage curricula.

Through this comprehensive approach, students graduate prepared not only to perform massage techniques, but to think critically, adapt treatments responsibly, and support client wellbeing with professionalism.
