Course Description

Program Description The Massage Therapy program at Centennial College will provide you with both the fundamental and advanced massage therapy skills needed to become a successful massage therapist. This advanced diploma health program emphasizes professionalism and teaches an evidence-based approach to assessment and treatment planning and implementation. Recognized as a distinctive and rigorous program within the School of Community and Health Studies, this college health program offers a balanced combination of theory and practical application through in-class lectures, lab experience, on-site public clinic and off-site outreach placements. You will learn the proper assessment tools and techniques to deal with a wide variety of conditions that involve lymph, muscle, nerve, fascia and joints of the body, as well as a wellness focus that maintains physical health, function and mobility. Please note: This program delivery (three-years with summers off) of the Massage Therapy program is a September intake/start only. It is possible to complete this college massage program in a shorter period of time by attending school in the summer semesters, but you must enrol in the Massage Therapy Compressed program (program # 5115) instead of the traditional delivery (#5110), which has a January intake/start with no summer breaks. Students enrolled in this program must stay in it as their major program of study, and are not eligible to transfer into the two-year undertaking (program #5115).
