Certified Massage Therapy
Certified Massage Therapy students learn a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, working to improve an individual's health and well-being.

Meridian Technology Center is the first area vocational-technical school in Oklahoma to offer this specialized field of study in the medical area. Certified Massage Therapy spans a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, working to improve an individual's health and well-being through the physical manipulation of soft tissue, connective tissue, and ligaments and the balancing of body energetics.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
A solid foundation in anatomy and physiology forms the basis for training in specific massage techniques. Students will learn standard terminology, names and locations of bones and major muscles and how these muscles produce movement. Students will also be given an overview of the function of the human body and will learn about each system.

MASSAGE THEORY AND TECHNIQUE
This portion of the program will provide a comprehensive survey of the history of massage therapy, and extensive practice of clinical techniques and practices. Emphasis is on indications and contra-indications of massage and the practical techniques of massage applications. Hands-on techniques will include Swedish Massage, Basic Shiatsu, Reflexology, Eastern Modalities, Trigger Points/Deep Tissue, Sports Therapy, and Supervised Clinical Practice.

CLASSROOM STUDY
Courses in basic business practices and professionalism will be emphasized to better prepare students in ethics, CPR, first aid, blood borne pathogens, and appropriate safety measures will be taught. The status of proposed laws governing the practice of massage in the State of Oklahoma will be reviewed.

PRACTICUM
This portion of the course will provide students the necessary experience to fine-tune their skills. Students will have the opportunity to shadow massage therapists currently practicing in the field which will help in their career path decisions. Students will also be able to provide on-site seated and table massages working closely with various businesses in the community. This will help to boost confidence and improve client interaction.
