Massage Therapy: A Career at your fingertips!
Award Winning Program.
Not all schools are created equally - compare
us to other massage schools on the Gulf Coast and we
think you'll see the difference too. Browse
through the awards and
honors that our school and school director have
received.
Easy Enrollment.
We've simplified the Admissions
process so that you can print an enrollment
form online or receive
a catalog by mail. You can also transfer
your hours from another massage school and receive a
tuition credit
Low Tuition Rates.
We have the lowest tuition rates for a 500-hour program in the South. But low cost does not mean low quality. In fact, we have a top-notch faculty and an awesome
curriculum.
Financial Aid Available to those who Qualify.
The Louisiana Institute of Massage Therapy offers a wide range of
financial aid
to fit virtually every situation.
National Textbook Author on Staff.
There are many massage schools on the Gulf Coast, but
only ONE has a best-selling national textbook author
on staff. Our Director, Susan
Salvo, has written two
massage textbooks that are used nationwide. Massage
Therapy: Principles and Practice and Mosby's Pathology
for Massage Therapists are used in massage schools
from coast to coast. Ms. Salvo has also written
specialty chapters for other textbooks and is
prominently featured
in the documentary History of Massage Therapy in
the United States.
State of the Art Classroom Experience.
Our
spacious classroom is outfitted with an audio visual
system consisting of 3 networked computers, a digital
overhead projector, high speed internet, and VHS/DVD
player. This gives us the capability of projecting
VHS/DVD movies, powerpoint driven lecture presentations,
and accessing the latest research live online. Our
textbooks also contain computer CD/DVDs as part of the
electronic classroom and have supplemental textbook
information on the EVOLVE web site. There is also an
interactive student section of the school web site as
well as utilizing the email system for classroom
assignments, lesson notes, and feedback.
Flexible, Convenient Class Schedules.
WEEKEND CLASSES - Our students can attend classes on alternate weekends so
they have time to practice their massage routines, and study for exams. This is a perfect schedule for students
who work full time during the week or have child
visitation every other weekend. It's also a great
schedule for those who live outside the Lake Charles area and wish to
commute. The weekend classes afford our students an easy
drive from Lafayette, Alexandria, Baton Rouge, New
Orleans, Shreveport, and Monroe, as well as from
Houston, Beaumont, and other parts of southeast Texas.
DAY CLASSES - At LA Massage School, students can now attend classes
during the weekdays, completing the program in about 7
months. Day classes are held Monday through Thursday
from 9:00am to 2pm. Day classes are generally available
in the fall, when the weekend class registration is
full.
Please see the class schedule.
Graduate and Begin your New Career in Less than a Year!
You can complete your massage therapy training in as little as 7 to 11 months. After that, you can begin your new
career and start living the lifestyle you've always dreamed about.
Student Clinic.
Student clinical practice is the heart of our career
training programs, providing students the opportunity to
experience the client/practitioner relationship and
create individualized client sessions under the close
guidance of a Clinic Supervisor. Through supervised
practice in the student
clinic, the LIMT student develops the skills
needed to promote a successful and fulfilling massage
practice.
Massage Therapist Owned and Operated.
No one understands massage education and the massage
industry better than members of that profession.
Everyone associated with our Massage Institute is a
massage therapist or other healthcare professional -
that way, you get the very best massage education.
