Massage Program Overview

At The School of Massage Therapy at SOLEX, our massage program has been designed to provide you with the necessary tools required to successfully enter the massage industry.

Modern massage therapy combines classical techniques together with advances in the field of therapeutic massage and soft-tissue manipulation. Its techniques are widely recognized as an effective means of reducing the incidence of stress-related disorders and relieving soft-tissue pain and dysfunction.

By enrolling in SOLEX Medical Academy’s massage program, students will become proficient in a range of application and treatment strategies. They will acquire a strong understanding of the structure and functions of the body relevant to massage, the basic techniques of therapeutic massage, and the factors inherent in the operation of a successful massage business.
