Massage Therapy Training Institute (MTTI) was founded in 1988,
based on a strong belief in the healing power of touch. Over the
past 19 years, MTTI-WellSpring has trained hundreds of successful
therapists, and helped launch their career in doctors' offices,
hospitals, wellness centers, fitness centers, spas, resorts,
corporate offices and private practice.
MTTI-WellSpring offers extensive open enrollment and continuing
education workshops in the areas of energy healing, health and
wellness, massage for everyone and spa treatments.
Massage Therapy Program
Back to top
MTTI-WellSpring's Diploma in Massage Therapy is designed to
provide a comprehensive foundation in bodywork technique, anatomy
and physiology, and business practices. This program also
prepares graduates to be nationally certified--an important
credential for entering the massage profession. Upon completion,
graduates are eligible to sit for the National Certification Exam
and for licensing in most states and municipalities.
Our massage program features extensive training in advanced,
neuromuscular techniques, which are increasingly called for in
medical and athletic venues.
Preparing graduates to work in partnership with physical
therapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers and medical doctors
is given major emphasis in our program.
Beyond this, our incorporation of a basic wellness curriculum is
also seen as a differentiating benefit of the program. Massage
practitioners increasingly find that clients are craving direct
and honest guidance about how to maintain a healthier lifestyle
in general. Our program prepares practitioners to provide this
guidance with the inclusion of classes on stress management,
nutrition and general wellness concepts.
Students who enroll in our accelerated daytime program (2 days a
week, no evenings or weekends) can complete the program in less
than 12 months. Our evening/weekend program (2 evenings a week
and about every other weekend) allows students to complete the
program in just over 13 months.
Our program includes classes such as Basic Swedish Massage,
Anatomy and Physiology, Specialty Massage, Advanced Massage
Techniques, Assessment and Documentation Skills, Eastern Bodywork
Techniques, Communication Skills, Kinetic Anatomy, Sports
Massage, Wellness and Nutrition, Pathology, Business Practices,
Clinical Internship and a wide range of other complementary
therapies.
