Student Services

We consider our school to be the most user friendly, student oriented, school in the metroplex. We keep our class sizes small to provide, not only the one-on-one attention each student deserves, but also to maintain the family atmosphere which has made us famous.

Learning Resources

The school maintains a library of class lecture videos, text and periodicals pertaining to massage therapy. These resources may be checked out.

Students are allowed use of the building and massage tables for practice on family and friends.

The school offers a computer based training program (CBT) for makeup work or extra study time.

Student Advising

HandsOn Therapy maintains an Open Door policy regarding the personal advising of its students. Members of the administrative staff are normally available to any student needing assistance with academic, vocational or financial problems. Consultation with the instructor is the student’s first option to receive assistance on academic matter. Should the student feel that he needs further help, he/she can meet with the Director of Education. For other matters, students may check with the Business Office and they can direct the student to the appropriate administrative person. Students are encouraged to seek assistance as soon as the need arises.

Retail Center

Each HandsOn Therapy school has a retail area that includes equipment (tables, chairs, etc.), supplies (lotions, belts, etc.) and other professional enhancements.  This retail area is open to the public and our students.  All students receive discount prices.

Internship

HandsOn Therapy operates a full service Clinic that offers Intern level massage.  This allows our students to complete their Internship requirements in-house and with a supplied clientele. 

Interns are supplied with one uniform shirt during their internship at the HandsOn Therapy clinic. The school supplies reservation system and late model massage tables.
