Bodymechanics School of Myotherapy & Massage

Overview

Who we are...

Our mission is to create exceptional massage therapists by utilizing advanced educational techniques. It is more than a slogan. We make education fun, exciting and personal. At the Bodymechanics School of Myotherapy & Massage, you will learn advanced skills and techniques. More importantly, you will learn to use this knowledge to help your clients feel better and recover from muscular aches and pains. Our focus is on sound, solid, massage theory technique along with the study of the human body. This allows us to maximize your educational foundation and ensure your excellence as a massage therapist. During the course, you will find that your personal development and relationship skills are enhanced by the entire educational process. This comprehensive course prepares you to succeed as a massage therapist, provide quality bodywork, and achieve consistent results with your clients.

We see our program as neither specifically "traditional" nor "alternative," but more as a bridge between eastern and western medical philosophies and techniques. Washington State classifies massage therapists as "ancillary medical providers," and in fact Bodymechanics' graduates will be fully trained to provide a variety of therapeutic bodywork modalities from relaxation and spa-based massage to structural and injury treatment. The learning environment is fun and stimulating. While some students may be concerned about returning to school after taking "a few" years off, we think you will be relieved to find that our teachers are patient and eager to see you succeed. Our teaching staff is composed of professionals in their respective health fields, and all are successful in their own practices.
