Classes are conveniently scheduled to allow the student to attend on a part-time basis, while working full-time. At AAIMT you receive a complete program including full courses in therapies which are rarely included in a beginning massage therapy program.

Upon graduation, specialty certificates will be awarded to those who successfully complete the Myofascial Therapy, Neuromuscular Therapy and Sports & Orthopedic Massage course-work and exams, graduates are also presented with a official transcript.
