Harris School of Business

Massage is a healing art as well as a science. As a massage therapist, you can help people in a direct and meaningful way using touch to manipulate the soft-tissue muscles of the body. Massage therapists can help their clients reduce stress, manage pain, rehab athletic injuries, and improve overall health.

There are more than 80 different types of massage, including acupressure, deep tissue massage, reflexology, and Swedish massage. Treating an elderly client requires a different set of skills than massaging a pregnant mother-to-be or a professional athlete. The massage therapist program at Harris School prepares students to work with a wide range of clients.
