Integrated Massage Therapy Clinic

We at IMTC created a program to help students pay tuition.  When you visit our massage clinic and pay for a student massage you are helping that student attend school and reducing the out of pocket cost of tuition and giving yourself a healthy dose of massage therapy.
We at IMTC attend many chair events through out the state and if we receive money for the event we put that money into our scholarship program to aid our students.  We also donate our time for events because our massage students love experience.  If you have a special event coming up contact STUDENT SERVICES so we help your event be healthier and relaxing.

Massage Career Opportunities

At IMTC the department known as Student Services works with you on enrollment and with your career in Massage Therapy.

IMTC has a sister company named Elements Therapeutic Massage Quailsprings location along with other opportunities of employment.

Massage Students will undergo a job placement entrance interview or orientation, with IMTC. This will introduce the School’s job placement department and procedures to the student. At this time the student will complete a questionnaire regarding their job placement needs.

IMTC will then post job openings and assist the student contacting prospective employers.

How Massage Therapy Can Work For You

Preventive medicine is on the raise because Insurance Premiums are on the RISE as well. More and more people are looking for ways to cut health care cost and Massage Therapy is an answer.
Massage therapy has proven to have natural healing effects for Low Back pain, severe spinal injuries, and many other diseases. Not only is it used for other health care reasons it is also used for stress relief. Stress has been the cause of many diseases.
Stress can also have effects on a current disease a person might have. Reducing stress can help the body reduce effects of a current disease. One of the ways people are reducing stress in this economic downside is by getting a massage.
Massage has a reputation of building self confidence and if you are one of the millions that have lost a job in this economic downside than getting a massage can help rebuild your self confidence. When you get a massage you are telling yourself and your body that you are worth something. You send your car and have your house or apartment refreshed with maintenance.
Your body is no different it requires attention, in fact your body can not be overhauled or traded in for a new one. In other words it is not replaceable. You must take care of your body to get the most out of your body. Thomas Edison once said "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
As a massage therapist and a person with a body that uses massage for many reasons has found that following a simple plan with massage as the stress relief will affect your overall feeling about life. I have attached a small example of how massage therapy can fit any budget.
    Depending on where you live one hour rates for massage can vary. With that known fact I have chosen a rate in the middle.
  • One Hour Massage at $70.00
  • 52 times a year (once a week) = $3640.00 yearly
  • 24 times a year (twice a month) = $1680.00 yearly
  • 12 times a year (once a month) = $840.00 yearly
  • 6 times a year (once every two months) = $420.00 yearly
This information can be reduced by using student massage clinics that charge almost half the professional rate. At IMTC when you receive a student massage you are also contributing to the students massage therapy education in two ways.  The first way being the student receives the best massage education with performing massage therapy on Active Clients with real body issues or Active Clients just wanting to relax.  The second way you are contributing is financially.  At IMTC a portion of all student massage money collected is applied to our scholarship program and given back to the students of IMTC.

You can live a very balanced life that is reduced in stress and medical bills by adding a regular massage to your life.

Massage does indeed make life pleasant.
