ENJOY A STUDENT MASSAGE AT THE CENTRAL FLORIDA SCHOOL OF MASSAGE THERAPY'S STUDENT CLINIC

Student massages are performed in a teaching environment as a learning experience for the student, so clients must be in reasonably good health or have a condition that does not require a doctor's approval to receive massage. We are seeking clients to provide a variety of experiences for our students to aid in their learning process.

The Student Clinic Supervisor will observe the student several times during the massage, assist with technique, and answer any questions for the student or client. Student massages are performed in an enclosed, peaceful environment that provides the client with ample privacy. Very strict draping rules are followed so that areas of the body that are not being massaged are draped at all times, and private areas are never exposed. Once you have been approved for a student massage, the receptionist will call you to set up an appointment in our massage school clinic on a Thursday or Friday.

• Student massages are 50 minutes long
• Each clinic session lasts ten weeks, and then the School closes for a period and opens again with a different class of seniors.
