From the beginning of the earliest program, students are provided with a strong therapeutic aspect to their training, as well as an inspiring introduction to the professional possibilities offered by massage. We believe Tui Na may become one of the most popular forms of therapeutic massage in the U.S. and our students will be at the forefront. They will be teaching Tui Na when others want to learn it. Pacific students also learn to apply their massage skills to problems affecting specific parts of the body, e.g., low back pain, neck pain, frozen shoulder. This knowledge is particularly useful when seeking employment in chiropractic or acupuncture clinics.
Body therapy is an indispensable part of any professional pain relief treatment plan.
More than ever, massage clients are asking massage practitioners for health advice and specific musculoskeletal therapy. Pacific graduates can provide such services. Pacific College massage practitioners learn to use their heads, as well as their hands. Pacific offers perhaps the most comprehensive curriculum of massage techniques available today. Pacific's Department of Advanced Oriental Body Therapy offers nearly 50 different courses, five diploma programs, and substantial specialization in Oriental body therapy.
