The Lima School of Medical Massage is a private,
professional school, with the primary objective of training
career-oriented students to obtain licensure in the State of Ohio
as a licensed massage therapist. We also provide continuing
education to the licensed practitioner.
We are accredited by both the Commission on Massage Therapy
Accreditation and the American Massage Therapy Association.

Licensed massage therapists (LMT) are employed at private massage
clinics, chiropractic and pain management centers, physician's
offices, hospitals and wellness centers, day spas, corporations,
resorts, and hotels performing both medical and
relaxation/therapeutic massage.
The health care profession will experience an 80% growth rate in
the next decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and
the medical community has become increasing accepting of massage
therapy as a viable treatment of stress and other disorders.
In order to graduate from the licensed massage therapist program,
students must complete the following:
- 754 hours of instruction (25 credit hours) which includes:
- Anatomy & physiology

- Ethics
- Business law
- Clinicals
- An approved CPR course and have a current CPR card at the
time of graduation
- Numerous one-hour massages in the student massage clinic
- Training in medical massage ethics, basic business practices
and styles of patient approaches
Student Massage Clinic
We believe that students must consistently practice what they
learn in the classroom. In each of our locations, we have opened
a student clinic, where our students benefit by working on their
techniques in a professional atmosphere under the close
supervision of a licensed massage therapist.
