  • Frequent evaluations, regular class work, and clinical practice sessions further ensure a complete and comprehensive program.

MTIC’s goal is to train students who want to work toward excellence in the growing field of bodywork. We emphasize integrative and remedial skills that are useful in clinical settings for the treatment and alleviation of chronic pain, stress disorders, soft tissue strain, and systemic imbalances.

A vast range of massage techniques and skills are presented with the intention of developing sufficient skill to use these techniques with an appropriate level of proficiency and expertise demanded of a massage therapist in professional practice.

Students are trained to work in a general massage therapy practice that typically is used for stress reduction, health maintenance and increased well-being. These services are frequently offered to athletic clubs and teams, resorts, health spas, beauty spas, wellness centers, corporate health centers and various health-oriented groups and service centers.

Actualize Healing Arts

"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."
