Posted

Ten students were recognized for completing the requirements for the Massage Therapy Certificate at Central Carolina Technical College.

The Massage Therapy program prepares graduates to work in direct client care settings to provide manipulation (massage) of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress, and to promote health and wellness.

CCTC’s massage therapy program is one of a handful of programs across the nation that have embraced remodeling massage therapy education to meet healthcare-level standards and expose students to a variety of advanced healthcare clinical experiences prior to graduation. The program is one of only three massage therapy programs nationwide implementing automated simulation mannequins and it is one of six massage therapy programs nationwide known to implement hospital-based massage therapy - with more medical clinical sites and inpatient floors than any other massage school in the nation.
