Mission
|
To
provide a quality educational experience for
massage therapy students utilizing the team
approach of the medical model of assessment,
treatment and documentation of individualized
massage therapy care based on the specific
muscle pathology. The curriculum emphasizes the
knowledge of human anatomy and function,
physiology, pathologies and the gold standard
treatments of Kellogg, Myofascial Release,
Neuromuscular Therapy, and Sports Massage, to
name a few. This knowledge is the foundation for
the specific appropriate massage treatment of
each patient. The Passive Massage Clinic allows
the student to practice these skills under the
supervision of practicing Licensed Massage
Therapists specialized in Medical Restorative
Massage Therapy©.

History
|
|
The
Medical Model Massage Institute was founded in
2008.
It is a new, primary massage therapy training
program, and it is an outgrowth of the
successful M. T. Wellness Clinic which provides
Medical Restorative Massage Therapy© services to
a large and growing list of patients.
The success of the M. T. Wellness Clinic has
highlighted the significant unmet need for
massage therapy services that reduce pain, as
well as the shortage of Licensed Massage
Therapists that are trained to use massage
therapy within the medical model.

Why Medical Model Massage Institute?
|
The
Medical Model Massage Institute is a great choice
for aspiring massage therapists that wish to
pursue financially and personally rewarding
careers in massage therapy.
Because of its focus on reducing pain through
massage therapy within the structure of a
medical model, this program produces graduates
that are prepared to work within their patients’
health care teams.
Unlike other programs that prepare graduates to
work in spas, health clubs or as a sole
proprietor, the Medical Model Massage Institute
offers therapists the training foundation that
prepares them for health care careers and health
care working environments.
