FLSM offers full-time and part-time opportunities to study massage therapy. On a typical day in each program, students devote half their time studying experiential anatomy and physiology or kinesiology. The other half of the day is spent learning and practicing massage techniques. Classes in communication skills, professional ethics and business skills are also integrated into the course of study. In addition to in-class training, students participate in a professional massage clinic two or three evenings per week.

In order to insure that our program matches our students’ expectations and abilities, we have the following guidelines for admission:
