A note from the school founder...

I'm so excited about your interest in the field of massage therapy! Being a massage therapist changed my life. I know it will be an adventure for you as well.

The Bodymechanics School curriculum was designed to combine advanced educational content and technique to create exceptional massage practitioners. Bodymechanics was born of a dream and built on integrity. The proof is in our graduate's success.

Our comprehensive curriculum and student clinics provide real-life experience to acquaint you with potential career options.

Whether your interest lies in medical massage, deep tissue, structural bodywork, sports or relaxation massage, our curriculum's unique balance of theory and technique is designed to prepare you for your career in massage.

The school atmosphere is warm, caring, and professional.

I have traveled the United States extensively and visited schools across the country working with hundreds of massage therapists with varying degrees of training. One thing that has stood out to me more than anything else is that there is a “complete disconnect” between the length of a massage program and the training of exceptional massage therapists. I've seen schools that have two-year programs with over 1,400 hours of education produce therapists who cannot give a good deep tissue massage or get their clients out of pain. The keys to becoming an exceptional massage therapist are the teaching and practicing of proven massage techniques that result in timely positive outcomes for their clients’ specific and overall health issues and goals.

Our exciting new massage program is now 600-hours over just 6 ½ months! We have reconfigured and concentrated the curriculum format to help students get started in their new massage careers in half the time and for less money while ensuring the quality of the curriculum meets the school’s mission.

I look forward to having you as a part of our exceptional program and hope to meet you in person soon.
