If you’re interested in helping patients achieve their wellness goals while maintaining a high level of collaboration with other healthcare providers, and you prefer working one-on-one with patients in a quiet environment, you owe it to yourself to explore your potential as a medical massage therapist.
A results-oriented therapy, medical massage works towards resolving specific conditions that a physician has diagnosed in a patient. Medical massage therapists employ a variety of modalities and procedures to address the particular areas of a patient’s body suffering from injury or pain. Working hand-in-hand with physicians, medical massage therapists aim to achieve the best possible health outcomes for the patient.
The Massage Therapy Training Program at National Holistic Institute (NHI) provides hands-on training, practical experience and all the support you need to become a qualified and confident medical massage therapist.
As a student in this program you’ll gain skills in Western massage modalities, including:

The primary source of growth for medical massage therapy jobs is due to the public’s increasing interest in natural healing alternatives, and the ongoing wellness and alternative medicine trend of combining modern medicine and natural health treatments to achieve overall wellness.

I’m originally from St.Louis, Missouri and I moved all the way to California to start the program at NHI. I researched the school beforehand and it looked great. I really wanted a well rounded education that NHI offered. At NHI, I made really great relationships with my mentors. I chose massage therapy because you can go in so many different directions and now I’m completely supporting myself through massage therapy.

I now have my own practice with a team of five massage therapists.”
