The Academy offers entry-level education which will fulfill the State of Wisconsin’s requirements toward becoming a licensed massage and bodywork therapist. The classes cover content which includes anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathology, business, law, massage theory and practice, and clinical experience. The courses are delivered in a blended format allowing the students to complete the coursework online and in-person.
Students begin the program by establishing a strong foundation in Swedish Massage, then progressing to clinical massage methods including trigger point, fascia, lymphatic, orthopedic assessments and techniques, and condition specific massage techniques. After students gain these foundational skills, students learn how to adapt massage techniques to clients with special needs including: infants, pregnant clients, the elderly, and athletes. In addition to Swedish and clinical massage techniques students will learn about a wide variety of western and eastern bodywork therapies including Reiki, cupping therapy, polarity therapy, chakra work, and acupressure.
