Massage Therapist Day Program
The 733 hour Massage Therapist Day Program is completed in eight (8) months
meeting Mondays — Fridays, 8:30am — 3:00pm. Completion of the Massage Therapist
Day Program qualifies the graduate to sit for the National Certification
Examination, and fulfills the educational requirements for massage therapy
licensure in the state of West Virginia. The Massage Therapist Day Program
integrates three areas of study: development of knowledge and skills;
professional preparation; and development of self understanding and awareness.
During the first week of classes, students are introduced to sensitivity and
perceptivity training and learn proper body mechanics to minimize stress during
the practice of massage. With this foundation, students move through the program
to become sensitive, competent, professional massage therapists.
Throughout the Massage Therapist Day Program, the student is offered a
comprehensive, intuitive approach to the following massage modalities and
subjects: Anatomy and Physiology; Kinesiology; Pathology and Fragile Care
Massage; Swedish Massage; Deep Tissue Therapy; Neuromuscular Therapy; Seated
Chair Massage; Esoteric Anatomy and Bodywork Theory; Hydrotherapy; Clinical
Practicum and Integrative Massage; Successful Business Practices and Research
Methodology and Awareness Skills. Please see our Description of Lessons page for
more information on our programs of study.
Massage Therapist Day Program — Tuition Costs
The cost of the Massage Therapist Day Program includes text books, a MSSM
polo shirt for Student Clinic and student liability insurance from ABMP. Upon a
student’s acceptance into the program, a $500.00 deposit, to be applied toward
tuition, is required to confirm their seat in the class. If payment is made in
full two (2) weeks in advance of the start of class, a $200.00 discount will be
applied to the total tuition. Tuition may also be paid over the course of the
program through in-school financing at 10% interest. Should this method of
payment be chosen, an additional $500.00 is due the first day of class with the
balance paid in six (6) monthly payments.
Financial assistance may be available to those who qualify through the West
Virginia Workforce Investment Act administered by the West Virginia Job
Services, and the Veteran’s Administration. Additional student loan assistance
may be available through the Sallie Mae Student Loan Program. In the near
future, financial assistance may be available to those who qualify through Title
IV Federal Funding, please enquire.
All tuition costs are subject to change. Please contact the Admission’s Director
for a current pricing sheet.
Massage Therapist Day Program — Other Expenses
Each student must receive one (1) massage from a licensed, nationally
certified MSSM graduate or MSSM instructor, for which there is a fee set by the
individual massage therapist (approximately $50-$55). Lodging, meals and
personal expenses are not included in the cost of tuition for any MSSM programs.
Students are advised to allocate an additional $500-$700 for the purchase of a
