Our Massage Therapy Diploma Program has a world-class reputation amongst healthcare professionals, which is maintained through regular curriculum updates to reflect changing knowledge and current research.

Our program leads students through a step-by-step progression of learning experiences culminating in a thorough understanding of the human body. Through over 2200 hours of training in various courses such as anatomy, neurology, kinesiology and remedial exercise, CCMH graduates are well prepared for work as a massage therapist. Theoretical courses are balanced by hands-on classes in the art and science of Massage Therapy. In addition, students learn the foundational skills that prepare them to establish and operate their own practices and businesses.  The end result is the most highly trained graduates of massage therapy schools in Nova Scotia.

CCMH students gain over 340 hours of supervised clinical experience through regular shifts in our on-site public Student Intern Clinic, Community Clinics, and Special Events.
