Massage Therapist Weekend Program
The 702 hour Massage Therapist Weekend Program is completed in 19 months,
meeting approximately every other weekend (Saturdays, 8:30am-6:30pm and Sundays,
8:30am-5:30pm). Completion of the Massage Therapist Weekend 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 Weekend 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 Weekend 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. A more thorough description of the class
material is covered under Description of Lessons, pages 11-15.
Massage Therapist Weekend Program Tuition Costs
The cost of the Massage Therapist Weekend Program includes textbooks, a MSSM
polo shirt for Student Clinic and student liability insurance. 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 Weekend 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-$800 for the purchase of a massage table,
