The curriculum at Augusta School of Massage is a teaching format that includes intensive massage therapy training as well as business education to prepare the student for success after completion of our program. The massage therapy student is educated in several necessary areas, the first of which includes the basics of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathology, and allied modalities.
These basics are needed to support the student and lead to a versatile and resourceful massage therapist. The student is also trained in hands-on traditional Swedish massage, which is the basis for a variety of other body therapies. Their training is rounded out with supervised clinics to ensure the student is prepared to take their craft to the public.
An important focus for students preparing for a career in massage therapy is the business aspect of the profession. Augusta School of Massage will provide students with essential information to help them smoothly transfer from student to professional massage therapist, whether they plan to open their own practice, become an independent contractor, or work as an employee in a medical facility, spa, fitness club, or another health-related setting.
