As part of your massage therapy training you will get the chance to apply your training outside the classroom.

In addition to regular classroom hours, students are required to complete a massage practicum, which offers the opportunity to work with members of the Ithaca community, as well as other students, while being supported by staff supervision in our classrooms.

Additionally, as a valuable part of their massage therapy education, students participate in the Community Service Clinic option of their choice, working with individual clients once per week over ten subsequent weeks. All sites are fully supervised and happen either in the FLSM classrooms or at various clinic sites within walking distance of the school. Clinic sites vary per program and are available based on enrollment and site availability.
