McKay Massage & Hydrotherapy Program

Our program provides quality instruction which strives to balance the mastery of the art and science of therapeutic massage in an interactive learning environment. We envision our graduates as professional, skilled, and competent massage therapists who will play a leadership role in educating the general public and other health care professionals about the value and benefits of touch in creating health and wellness throughout the world.

Massage Therapy as a Career

Massage Therapy is one of the fastest growing complimentary alternative medical (CAM) professions. More and more of the medical community and general public are recognizing massage therapy as a “preventative” strategy as well as a repair and rehabilitative modality. Massage is a fundamental building block to a health and wellness lifestyle and our graduates bring all of their training in anatomy, remedial exercise, nutrition and physiology to help their clients find the goals they have set for themselves.

Massage Therapy brings increased circulation and thereby increased tissue health, better posture, decreased muscle tension, decreased stress and stress response as well as a sense of well being and relaxation to the client.
