What Is Medical Massage?

Our program is designed for students that desire to make medical massage a career

The medical massage program offered at AIMM is designed for those who want to practice massage that produces healing effects in their clients such as pain relief from ailments like arthritis, chronic migraine, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, or injuries such as whiplash, herniated disc, tendonitis, frozen shoulder; or help induce structural correction to relieve pinched nerve, bad posture, and skeletal misalignment, etc.

It is conducive for a graduate of our program to work in a medical setting such as with a medical doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor, or if they open their own practice to gain a reputation as a medical massage therapist rather than a masseuse/r.

Lecture

This is where the theories are explained by the instructor. The students may take notes and may feel free to bring a tape recorder to class to record the lecture if they feel it would be beneficial. There may be classroom participation and open discussions during these lectures where the instructor feels it would enhance the learning process of the student. Lecture hours are 50 minutes with a 10 minute break at the end of each hour. A class time may consist of more than one lecture hour.

Practicum

Practical lab is where the students acquire their “hands on” skills. Techniques are demonstrated and practiced under the supervision of the instructor. There may be some lecture involved in the classes, but the majority of the time is on practice. The lab hours are 50 minutes with a 10 minutes break at the end of each hour. A class time may consist of more than one lab hour (e.g. Anatomy and Physiology taught 2 class hours per week).

Internships

This is where the student can practice acquired skills in a real life setting. The student clinic at AIMM is open to the general public. The students when ready for their internship class, will coordinate their internship schedule with the clinic supervisor. In the advanced half of the program, the students are required to practice their advanced skills on the general public at the AIMM student clinic.
