Our curriculum is grounded in our belief that scientific foundations and inspirational, real-life experiences create passionate massage therapy professionals. As a Santa Cruz massage therapy school student here at a2z Health Massage Therapy School, you'll benefit from a comprehensive combination of hands-on classroom instruction, clinic work and community outreach. After graduation, we'll continue to support our Santa Cruz massage therapy school graduates with ongoing learning opportunities through continuing education, lectures and workshops.
Our Massage Therapy Certificate Program for our Santa Cruz CA students is a holistic and hands-on approach to massage. You'll be challenged and inspired to create your own unique career path, whether that means working in a hospital, clinic, spa, health club or your own private practice. Training covers three main areas of study:
-
Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology Coursework in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology provides a solid foundation in understanding the structure, function and health of the human body. You'll learn proper medical terminology that is actively reinforced in classroom experiences.
-
Massage Therapy and Practice Master fundamental techniques in a classroom setting and practice them in a supervised and supportive environment. We also provide training in body mechanics and self-care so that you can enjoy a long and healthy career. In addition to your Theory and Practice courses, hands-on training in the Student Clinic and in our Community Outreach program will further prepare you to interact with clients.
-
Professional Development This coursework rounds out your educational experience with the business basics necessary to succeed as a professional. With the help of your Instructors, you'll define your goals and target markets for a successful practice. Of course, it goes beyond just lectures and discussions. With exercises in goal setting, writing a resume, creating a business plan, marketing, advertising, and self-management you'll walk away with the basic tools to establish your own practice or apply for jobs upon graduation.
