What You Will Learn?

Swedish Massage

In the first five weeks of this massage program, ASIS students will learn the basic techniques of Swedish massage, which focuses primarily on the body's circulatory system to bring about balance and relaxation. In these beginning weeks, much attention is given to the development of healthful body mechanics, respectful use of draping, universal precautions, and fundamental therapist/client communication. This modality prepares students for subsequent modalities.

Chiropractic Assistant Training

Interspersed throughout the program, students will receive training for becoming a Certified Chiropractic Assistant (CCA). These classes prepare therapists to work in a cooperative relationship within a chiropractor's office. To assist in chiropractic modalities, a CCA is required by the State of Arizona. Graduates from ASIS receive a CCA, with an emphasis in physiotherapy and acupuncture, record-keeping, charting, and client confidentiality upon completion of the 800 hour massage training. The ASIS Massage & Chiropractic Assistant Curriculum meets the requirements for Arizona's and most other states' licensure.

Neuromuscular Therapy

This therapy focuses on releasing acute or chronically contracted muscles and tendons by applying specific and direct point pressure to the myofascia of the body. The technique is similar to Asian acupressure (Shiatsu) with regards to methodology, yet different in terms of physiological influence. NMT is a simple and effective way to reduce pain, tension, and stress that can result from injuries, poor posture, and unbalanced nutrition. The method can also gradually re-educate the neuromuscular system so that habitual patterns of restricted physical movement are reduced.

Sports Massage

Injuries can happen often to clients, whether it's caused by a sport or not. Students at ASIS will learn how to treat sports injuries through sports massage and rehabilitation procedures. Several sports massage techniques are discussed, including pre-event massage, post-event massage, flexibility programs, and maintenance massage, with an emphasis on repetitive motion injuries, injury assessment, and development of a rehabilitative protocol. Students will have the opportunity to practice on competing athletes at local events.

Craniosacral

Craniosacral therapy is a holistic healing practice that uses very light touch to balance the craniosacral system in the body, which includes the bones, nerves, fluids, and connective tissues of the cranium and spinal area.

Connective Tissue Therapy

This modality addresses the superficial and middle layers of connective tissue (fascia) in the body and effectively promotes relaxation, vitality, and increased awareness of postural biomechanics. CTM enhances awareness of how posture and the movement are dynamic and influenced by environment, nutrition, emotion, and experience. Body reading, postural analysis, and functional assessments are discussed.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork designed to promote health by influencing and improving the state of energy in the body. This modality addresses the client's energy (chi) through finger pressure on acupressure points along the meridians in the body. Various perspectives of Asian-influenced movements and stretching are addressed. Students at ASIS Massage will become familiar with basic Asian theory, the 12 meridians, the five elements, and many of the acupoints for muscular release and energy movement.

Hydrotherapy

Therapeutic applications of heat and cold, bodywraps, Kneip therapies, whirlpools, flower essences, essential oils, and other therapeutic tools and procedures are discussed or practiced. Students will learn how to incorporate these tools, used by naturopaths, physical therapists, massage therapists, orthopedic physicians and at spas, into their sessions while attending our massage school in Arizona.

Integrative Massage

In addition to regular classroom hours students are required to complete a clinical course which provides hands-on training in a clinical setting. Clinic sessions are staff-supervised and supported. Students receive valuable feedback, keep detailed records of their work, and are assisted in reflecting upon their experience and progress. Emphasis is placed on professional preparation as students train to work in the massage profession.

Our Campuses

Tucson Campus

Located in the Historic Warehouse Arts District, our massage school in Tucson is surrounded by coffee houses, restaurants, breweries, bookstores, and more. Aside from the abundant shops and eateries, there is an abundance of natural beauty as well since the City of Tucson is in the Sonoran Desert, near the Santa Rita and Santa Catalina mountains. There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor experiences like the Sonoran Desert Museum and the Saguaro National Monument, without missing the creature comforts of the city.

Prescott Campus

Located in Downtown Prescott, our massage school campus is surrounded by charm, history, and also the pines, junipers, boulders, and granite of the nearby high desert. Our Prescott campus sits in a vibrant, centrally located Town Square that leaves nothing to be desired. Downtown Prescott is also where all the city's festivals and events take place.

Flagstaff Campus

Our massage school campus in Flagstaff is situated in the heart of Downtown, a block from historic Route 66, within walking distance of coffee houses, restaurants, breweries, and bookstores. Flagstaff is blessed with big nature, abundant wildlife, year-round sporting activities, a thriving nightlife, and the Sunset Crater and San Francisco Peaks. Within a short drive one can hike elevations above 12,000 feet. This mix of natural abundance and city comforts is also just a short drive away from bustling Phoenix.

Mesa Campus

Located a mere twenty minutes from Downtown Phoenix, Mesa is the third-largest city in Arizona, set in a lively urban setting. Mesa's vibrant, historic downtown, is up and coming, and on Phoenix's new light rail line.
