Our Mission at the School of Massage Therapy at SOLEX Medical Academy

The School of Massage Therapy at SOLEX Medical Academy is dedicated to providing a Massage Therapy school program based on current information, technology, instruction, and the best practices used in the field. Our school's comprehensive approach to the art and science of massage balances professional expertise with personal growth in a supportive environment.

Philosophy

Our educational approach is holistic – committed to honoring the spirit as well as the body and the mind. The holistic approach integrates an understanding that there are physical, mental and emotional/spiritual components that impact client treatment. This provides the conceptual framework for the organization and structure of the massage therapy program, balancing technical studies in massage theory and fundamentals with the development of each student’s creativity, graceful movement and capacity for compassionate touch.

This philosophy has resulted in a curriculum that emphasizes the relationship between the practitioner and client, as well as building knowledge and skill through planned sequential learning activities. Students advance from simple to more complex techniques, gaining technical competence, knowledge of legal and ethical responsibilities, and critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Students prepare for the clinical experience by mastering the skills and knowledge considered essential according to current practice and as mandated by state and local law. Our highly qualified and experienced faculty and staff work together to provide a learning environment designed to educate students according to the highest professional standards in the massage therapy field.
