MTIC originated in 1986-87 when Mark Manton started massage training for a group of clients and nurses who wanted to learn methods of massage therapy for the successful treatment of chronic pain and injuries. MTIC became a Colorado state approved program in 1987-88 and became a Colorado corporation in 1990.
Since 1987 over 1,200 students have attended MTIC to study massage methods. The Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) program focuses on the use of Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Therapy and Reflexotherapy for the treatment of chronic pain and injuries, and for relaxation, health and well-being.
Currently the training at MTIC requires 800 classroom hours and 160 hours of massage practice for completion of the CMT program.
Since 1989 MTIC has also offered a second year 300 hour advanced training for qualified graduates and other Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) who are interested in learning Myofascial Therapy in combination with joint mobilization and acupressure.

"The quality of education at MTIC is exemplary in many ways. MTIC's massage certification program is one of the best and most comprehensive in the state of Colorado by far. I entered the program with very little knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and left with a whole new perspective of how our body, mind, and spirit are all connected. The massage and bodywork classes were challenging enough to keep interest, but always delivered with just the right amount of support to ensure success. My experience at MTIC was more than just educational; it was also a very exciting, positive personal journey. I highly recommend MTIC to anyone who is contemplating pursuing a career in the healing arts."
