Massage Therapy is BACK!

The Massage Therapy Program is running another course!  What?  You didn’t know NOVA had a massage therapy program?!?  Well then you have been missing out!  Not only could you enroll to get yourself certified in massage therapy and sit for the national exam to become a massage therapist, but you could also donate your body to science for an hour!

This cohort started on Sept 6, and after the students get about eight weeks of instruction and practice, we host five to six open clinics where you can come get a massage from a student for free!

You will donate your body to science for 50 minutes so the students have a variety of bodies to practice on. Student massage therapists will perform an intake interview to find out where you need pain relief, and use a combination of Swedish strokes and Deep Tissue strokes (there are five main strokes for each – feel free to quiz the students!) to customize a therapeutic massage just for you. After, we will ask you to fill out a review form to tell us how well the students performed.

Check the Daily Flyer the last two weeks of October for information on signing up for one of our clinics! This term clinics will be on Saturdays, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. (Not every Saturday, just specific ones.)

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Lori Vintilescu at LVintilescu@nvcc.edu.

Have a great Fall!
