DESCRIPTION

Massage is a growing field within the health care industry. More and more doctors and patients are seeing the value in this ancient, respected, and effective form of healing, so demand for qualified massage therapists will continue to grow. McCann makes sure students have the proper training in all aspects of massage. Here is a look at the areas in which Massage Therapy students are trained: introduction to massage, Swedish massage, hydrotherapy and aromatherapy, anatomy and physiology, kinesiology and somatic psychology.

In addition, students will be trained in energy based modalities, special populations, law, business, and ethics, career development and career management, general education requirements (college English, math, psychology), and a student clinic.

ADVANTAGES

McCann’s faculty is comprised of dedicated and knowledgeable teachers. They are also professionals in the fields in which they teach. This allows students to learn from those who have actual experience and to gain insight into their future careers.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Massage therapy can either be a full-time career or a secondary source of income. Most Pennsylvania massage therapists are self-employed. They typically own a business of their own or work on an independent contractor basis. Many graduates of McCann’s Pennsylvania massage therapy program have also found employment at the offices of chiropractors and doctors; health and beauty salons and spas; nursing homes; fitness and recreational centers; and hotels.
