Be a part of the growing demand for health care professionals by becoming a Registered Massage Therapist and make a difference in your community! The Massage Therapy Program at Cambrian College is a 6 semester evidence-based and rehabilitation-focused program that produces competent, confident, professional, and well-rounded graduates capable of working in various settings. Holistic approaches to health care are incorporated into treatment planning based on patient assessments and goals. Students will learn how to treat soft tissues with manual techniques, therapeutic exercise, and modalities such as laser, therapeutic ultrasound, taping techniques, TENS and more. The Massage Therapy program is offered over the course of six consecutive semesters. Students will begin the program in the fall semester and continue their studies through the summer semesters. This condensed time frame means that students can graduate from this advanced diploma program in just 24 months! Students will progress through a scaffolded learning experience, beginning with the foundational health sciences, assessment skills, basic massage therapy techniques, professionalism and therapeutic communication skills in year one. After year one, students have a firm foundation in clinical assessment and will begin working with clients in the on-site clinic focusing on treatment planning for specific conditions and patient presentations. Students will gain practical experience through the Cambrian College Massage Therapy Clinic (CCMTC) and local off-site placements with different populations in the community under the supervision of a Registered Massage Therapist. Students will have the opportunity to work with new parents to guide them through infant massage techniques, provide pregnancy massage to expectant parents, treat elite athletes in a sport setting and treat clients in medical settings such as long-term care or hospitals. Students will also gain valuable experience in business management, marketing, and research to enter the massage therapy profession confidently.
