Why Choose the Massage Therapy Institute?

It is important to find the massage therapy school that will best fit your needs. Not all schools and their programs are of equal quality. Your choice may come down to a large corporately-owned school or a smaller individually-owned school. Bigger schools usually offer Federal Financial aid (900 hr program is required) while small individually owned schools usually require fewer hours to graduate (500 hours is the most you need to be able to obtain a business license to work in any CA city, and in some cities fewer hours are needed). Smaller schools may offer a flexible, modular schedule with payment plans available. Compare total cost of $7,975 to complete your 500 hour program at Massage Therapy Institute, Davis to more than $12,000 to $17,000 for programs at a big vocational school.

With a shorter program you will be able to enter the workforce sooner. The American Massage Therapy Association’s Massage Industry Research Report has stated that small school graduates face the least difficulties finding employment and that they have lower dropout rates than larger schools and colleges, better developed curriculum and better qualified teachers!

There are many considerations in choosing a specific school. Be thorough in your research and weigh your options so that you can choose wisely, and set yourself up for a long, successful career as a massage therapist.

We Are Affordable

You do not need to spend many thousands of dollars to get the best training. Our training is the best you can find and our programs are affordable.

We Have the Best Instructors in the Field

All of our instructors are currently working successfully in the massage field. They are teaching you the specialist skills that they work with and bringing what is current in the field to the classroom. And you will be learning from many different instructors, each bringing their own knowledge and interpretation to the classroom. Our classroom environment allows for a variety of learning styles. We individually coach you to develop excellent posture and body mechanics from the beginning, enabling you to have a long, injury free career. It does matter where you begin your training!

Massage Therapist Owned and Operated

No one understands massage education and the massage industry better than members of that profession. Everyone associated with our Massage Institute is a massage therapist or other healthcare professional - that way, you get the very best massage education.
