The Advanced Massage Diploma: Clinical Assessment and Correction Specialization is designed for students to provide therapeutic (corrective) treatments for their clients. At MCG Career College, we believe that this area of training has been substandard in the industry for many years and results in graduates that use relaxation techniques for therapeutic treatments.
This second year course teaches proper assessment and correction techniques, used specifically for therapeutic applications. All concepts taught in the first year Basic Relaxation Massage diploma are reinforced and expanded upon, but the emphasis is now on assessment and corrective techniques for acute and chronic pain found in the soft tissues and associated structures of the body.
This diploma is 1288 hours and takes place over 10 months. It follows the same format and requirements as the Basic Relaxation Massage Diploma over a longer time period.
Completion of both the Basic Relaxation Massage Diploma and the Advanced Therapeutic Massage Diploma will provide the graduate with 2296 hours of instruction.
