Touch is communication. We believe that to know the body, you must first know the self. To know the self, you must know the body. At Professional Massage Training Center, we teach from a point of view which recognizes the importance of the functional, structural, kinesthetic, and energetic aspects of the body. This view is based on the paradigm that the body is shaped by our experience. We can better connect with our clients if we know the physical body and understand other human components as well. Only with this understanding are we able to apply a truly skilled touch. This is the basis for holistic care that applies the science of the body, comprehends the influence of the mind and acknowledges the presence of the spirit.

At PMTC, we believe that massage therapists should continue to educate themselves throughout their career. With new developments and therapy concepts arising every year, it is important to stay up-to-date in order to deliver the best care possible. PMTC makes such education easily available to our graduates by offering free monthly continuing education classes. When you walk out the door on graduation day, your relationship with PMTC will not have ended. We are dedicated to maintaining a relationship with our graduates and providing extensive graduate services in continuing education and job placement.

We encourage you to visit our school and take a tour, sit in on a class, receive a student massage or speak with our staff and students to further investigate the field of massage therapy.

We are dedicated to being a place that our students are proud to have attended and the learners of our profession look to as an example of the best our field offers.
