Sports Massage Therapy Training

Increasing research supports sports massage therapy as a significant aide in helping to reduce injuries. It has become a fast-growing career path for many who wish to work in sports massage—whether for sports teams or dedicated athletes. Besides improving athletic performance, sports massage therapy can decrease muscle tension and increase recovery time from injury.

The Soma Institute in Chicago, Illinois, offers students a chance to gain real-world experience with their Clinical Massage Therapy Program. The 11 or 15-month program includes an on-campus teaching clinic where students work with the public. They also have the unique opportunity to practice sports massage with NCAA Division I athletes at Loyola University. These experiences provide students with important field experience.
