The Cortiva Institute offers an innovative and specialized
study opportunity for individuals interested in massage therapy
as an exciting and rewarding career. Aside from the usual
classes that will train therapists in many different techniques
and medically informative skills, the school offers interested
individuals the opportunity to attend an information evening
to learn more about the coursework involved, as well as a
special two-day novice class, developed to give a basic introduction
to the Cortiva Institute's massage therapy program so that
you can better determine if this is truly the career direction
you desire.
If you think you might be interested, Cortiva Institute offers
a number of opportunities for observation so that you can
determine whether the field of massage therapy is truly for
you. Attend an informative evening, during which you will
be introduced to the institute and its programs. You can also
schedule to observe a class or part of a class in session
to see what exactly is involved in the course study and what
kind of experience you will gain through your training and
progression through the program. Novice classes can teach
you some basic techniques so that you can test your skills
on family and friends, determining if massage is an interest
for a full-time profession. You can also enroll in a six-week
introductory course on anatomy and physiology. If you have
assured yourself that you are ready for a career in massage
therapy, the Professional Licensing Program is the way to
go.
Regardless of whether you are sure of your readiness and
desire to become a professional massage therapist or you are
interested but have yet to make up your mind, you can count
on the Cortiva Institute to assist you in determining the
best path for you and training you with top notch education
and care to become a licensed massage therapist.
