Massage Therapy School in Bend: Programs
Integrated Curriculum: Our massage licensing programs at our Bend massage school far exceeds the requirements for licensure as a massage therapist in Oregon and exceeds the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB)’s requirements for taking the written exam. To be licensed in the state of Oregon, a graduate must pass the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx) and a practical exam from the Oregon Board of Massage.

Massage Therapy School in Bend: Time Commitment
Our goal is, prior to enrollment, every student “counts the cost” involved in successfully completing the program. The massage curriculum requires a high level of commitment and a priority in time management. We understand that the amount of time required to study varies according to an individual’s background, level of study skills, and the flow of the subject matter from week to week.

in Bend
However, in general: a student will spend approximately 18 to 21 hours a week in classes, plus 2-4 hours outside of class giving/receiving massages, plus a minimum of 8-10 hours of study time.
With life full of important priorities like family, children, work schedules, caring for pets, and various other obligations, it is essential that students think ahead and make preparations before starting school, to ensure success in completion of the massage program.

Advanced Course Work: Master's Programs
The following three courses will include clinical assessment procedures: orthopedic/osteopathic, postural gait analysis, and muscle energy, positional and myofascial release techniques, appropriate for each section of the body. Treatment protocols for common pain and dysfunction will be practiced in each course. In depth review of anatomy and introduction to spinal bio-mechanics will be addressed for each section of the body. Courses can be taken in any order. Classes have been developed for a massage therapist who desires a more clinical approach. Due to the structural/muscular connections of the body, some overlap will occur between courses.

After a student completes an entry level licensing program, students who desire advanced knowledge and skill in treating chronic pain and injuries may complete an additional 300 hours to receive a master’s certificate of completion.
