Parker College to open School of Massage Therapy

In response to the growing demand for highly qualified massage therapists, Parker College of Chiropractic announces the opening of the Parker College School of Massage Therapy in January 2007.

Parker’s massage school will provide students with over 320 hours of education in the science and art of therapeutic bodywork as well as over 200 hours of classroom, lab, and clinical courses in healthcare sciences.

The balance of the massage school’s required hours includes courses in business, ethics and communication. Prior to graduation, all students must submit a complete business plan that can be utilized when beginning a massage therapy practice.

“Our program is structured so that students who plan to practice in Texas may test for their Texas license and begin working while completing the remainder of the coursework,” said Dr. Lyle Wilson, Coordinator of the School of Massage Therapy. “We specifically designed this certificate program so that graduates will be fully prepared and qualified to sit for the National Certification Examination in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.”

Enrollment is currently underway. For further information, visit Parker’s new website at www.parkercc.edu or call 800-971-8096 or 214-902-3485.
