Northwest Opening

Oregon School of Massage has been a leading provider of massage therapy education for over a quarter-century. Founded on the belief that the human touch holds immense healing power, we strive to equip aspiring massage therapists with the skills, knowledge, and compassionate approach necessary to provide exceptional care. Our mission is to cultivate excellence in massage education through quality touch, ensuring graduates are not only technically proficient but also possess the wisdom to connect with clients on a deeper level.

Our Philosophy

At Oregon School of Massage, we recognize that massage therapy goes beyond simply manipulating the muscles. It's a profound interaction between therapist and client, a space where touch becomes a conduit for healing, stress relief, and overall well-being. We integrate a holistic approach into our curriculum, emphasizing not only the anatomical and physiological aspects of massage but also the importance of presence, intuition, and the ability to communicate effectively through touch.

Comprehensive Massage Therapy Training

Oregon School of Massage offers a robust 640-hour massage therapy certificate program that prepares students for a fulfilling career in the field. Our curriculum is meticulously designed to cover a wide range of massage modalities, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, sports massage, prenatal massage, and trigger point therapy. Students gain extensive hands-on experience through supervised practice in our in-house clinic, honing their technical skills and developing a discerning touch.

We believe in fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment where students can thrive. Our experienced instructors, who are passionate about massage therapy and dedicated to mentoring, provide personalized guidance and encouragement throughout the program.

Beyond Technical Skills

Recognizing the evolving needs of the massage therapy profession, our program delves beyond technical expertise. We address the business aspects of running a successful practice, including marketing, client communication, and professional ethics. We also explore the psychological and energetic dimensions of massage, empowering students to approach their practice with empathy, mindfulness, and a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.
