Massage Therapy
The massage therapy program is accredited by the Commission on Massage
Therapy Accreditation (COMTA). The program also holds school
memberships in the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and
Associated Bodyworkers and Massage Professionals (ABMP). Massage
therapists in Illinois must sit for and pass the National
Certification Exam for Therapeutic Massage (and Bodywork) before
applying for their Illinois license.
Massage is one of the oldest healing arts. The benefits of massage are
varied and far-reaching. It is an accepted part of many physical
rehabilitation and health maintenance programs and has proven
beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain,
arthritis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression and
more. Massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday
living that can lead to disease and illness.
