You don't have to be a doctor or surgeon to have a career in health care. As a trained massage therapist you can make a successful career out of helping others.
Not-so-alternative Medicine
Massage therapy is becoming increasingly popular. Once considered an alternative form of treatment, it is now a broadly accepted health care specialization. It is used in the treatment of physical and psychological problems; for healing, pain relief, and prevention. Massage therapy is versatile, effective, and relatively cheap.
Massage therapy is now one of the fastest growing professions in health care.
As the population ages and people are seeking more ‘natural' ways of healing, job opportunities in health care - and particularly massage therapy - are expanding. So now is a great time to enroll in your first massage therapy course.
Anaheim - your ‘Home by the River'
Along with Disneyland, Anaheim has shopping, nightlife, and restaurants, to offer a student. Anaheim is the tenth largest city in California, and has come a long way since its foundation by a colony of German farmers in 1857. They called it their ‘home by the river' - ‘Ana' from the nearby Santa Ana River, and ‘heim' being German for home - and it remains a homey, if much more modern, city. As well as a rich culture and vibrant nightlife, Anaheim is ideal for the outdoor life. The Pacific coastline is just 13 miles away and a variety of mountain resorts are within driving distance. And with the city's warm, dry climate, you'll get plenty of time to enjoy your surroundings.
