Massage Therapy

Discover the healing power of touch

If you're passionate about helping others feel their best, a career in massage therapy could be your path to a rewarding and impactful future.

Licensed Massage Therapists play a vital role in promoting health and well-being through skilled, hands-on care. By applying therapeutic techniques, they help relieve pain, reduce stress, improve circulation and support physical and emotional wellness. Whether working in spas, clinics, or private practice, massage therapists create meaningful change in the lives of their clients—one session at a time. CCBC's Massage Therapy program can have you licensed in as little as 14 months.

Our students also work under the supervision of Licensed Massage Therapists in our Student Massage Clinic, which is open to the public!
