Our Programs

Atlanta School of Massage offers three complete certification programs. Classes begin four times a year. To accommodate your schedule, both day and evening classes are available. Financial aid is available for those who qualify.

Regardless of the specific program you choose, you can count on a first-rate education that will prepare you thoroughly for a satisfying career in massage therapy.

Integrated Massage and Deep Tissue Therapy Program

This program specializes in the application of Deep Tissue Massage and Neuromuscular Therapy to treat injuries and address areas of chronic tension in order to return the body to a state of health and balance. You will learn how to assess areas of tension and blend massage modalities to design a unique session for each client. You will learn processing skills that enable you to guide clients into greater awareness of their physical and psychological patterning. Your knowledge base enables you to work in both rehabilitative settings such as chiropractic and in therapeutic settings in conjunction with mental health professionals.

Clinical Massage Program

The goal of this program is to empower the therapist to make treatment decisions using proven methods of observation and evaluation. Clinical students develop skills which enable them to identify the origin of their clients' pain, be it structural (damaged tissue), neurological (stress, spasm), or psychosomatic (emotional). Your chance of success with each client is greatly increased when you combine this knowledge with the holistic treatment approach taken by the clinical massage therapist. Identifying the origin of the problem gives you the ability to help the client whose condition is best treated with massage and refer those whose needs require intervention by other healthcare providers.

Wellness Massage and Spa Therapies Program

Devoted specifically to the specialized techniques demanded in the rapidly growing spa industry, this program will prepare you to work with day spas, destination spas, resorts, cruise lines, salons and medical wellness spas. You'll focus on rejuvenation and disease prevention, and you will learn to work with your clients to help them create a climate that fosters wellness and good health.
