Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is a versatile, exciting industry that offers several lucrative and satisfying career options. One might start a successful private practice in a studio, become a traveling massage therapist, or work in a medical setting such as a chiropractor’s office, rehabilitation center or wellness clinic.

Portland Beauty School offers a comprehensive Massage program approved by the Oregon Board of Massage Therapists. This professional program is designed to provide a solid framework in the basics of therapeutic massage. Graduating students will be prepared to take the licensing exam and the National Certification Exam.

As a student, you will receive personalized and individual training in the arts and sciences of Massage Therapy. Subjects you will study include:

• Anatomy & Physiology
•  Kinesiology
• Communication & Boundaries
• Hydrotherapy
•  Pathology
•  Professional Ethics, Business & Law
•  Safety & Sanitation

Many massage therapists are now working in the rapidly growing, multi-billion-dollar spa industry. Students who complete both beauty school and massage training are uniquely qualified for the spa industry.

Employers realize that these individuals are able to perform a wider range of spa treatments than estheticians or massage therapists alone. Obtaining certification in both fields can offer more opportunity for profitable employment. Portland Beauty School is unique in offering two highly compatible professional licensing programs.
