In June 2006, GwinnettCollege acquired Rising Spirit Institute of Natural Health. After reviewing many massage therapy programs, it was our belief that their program was the best around. After the change of ownership, we began the process to gain approval to offer this program. On November 17, 2006, our Gwinnett campus received approval from the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. After approval from accreditation, we began the process of preparing our facility for the program. Now, all three of our Metro Atlanta campuses offer the Rising Spirit School of Massage massage program.

The focus of our Massage Therapy program is to give you the knowledge, skills, and business acumen to become a successful, prosperous Massage Therapist. Now students can take this program at our Gwinnett / Lilburn, Sandy Springs/ Atlanta, or Marietta campus.

The Massage Therapy Program is a well-planned sequence of courses, with each class preparing the student for the more intensive information to follow. The curriculum reinforces the mission of the program, which is to give each individual the scientific knowledge, manual skills, and mastery of business to successfully become a professional massage therapist. Three areas of study form the CORE of the curriculum. The CORE curriculum encompasses:

(1) Exact Knowledge of Musculoskeletal Anatomy and Kinesiology.
(2) Excellence in Applying Swedish / Deep Tissue Massage, NeuroMuscular Therapy, Chair Massage and Reflexology.
(3) The Ability and Motivation to Be a Success at “The Business of Massage Therapy.”
