Massage Therapy has continued to gain respect and acceptance as a complement to traditional medical treatment.
Therapists assist clients in stress management, maintaining wellness and recovery from injuries.
Career opportunities include private and group practice, hospitals and physician's offices, and on site locations such as spas, resorts, salons and cruise ships. Most therapists enjoy flexible schedules and hours. Each student admitted to the Institute receives not only instruction and exposure to technical skills and comprehensive theory, but also adequate opportunity for supervised work with the public. The massage therapy program is designed to provide a sound educational basis enabling students to be eligible for the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork examination and licensure through the Virginia Board of Nursing. The instructional staff at The Bodyworks Institute are experienced, professional, and trained educators.
