Over the years, Massage Therapy Training Institute has trained hundreds of successful therapists. MTTI students praise the professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication of our instructors and the wide variety of healing modalities they can learn here. Our curriculum prepares graduates to become nationally certified and to be licensed in Missouri and most other states.
MTTI is a part of Well-Spring Resources, Inc., whose vision is to provide progressive career-oriented education and clinical services in the field of alternative and complementary healthcare.
Since 1988, Massage Therapy Training Institute has dedicated its time and energies to the forever-beneficial practice of massage therapy. Our goal is to train students not only in the body’s physiology and musculature, but to heighten a sense of their patients' contentment. Massage encompasses so many different health benefits, it's impossible to pigeonhole the discipline as simply physical therapy. A better definition might be, "the pursuance of physical and mental well-being".
An ever-growing body of research shows that massage works to improve a number of health functions. It reduces heart rate and can help lower blood pressure, and at the same time it aids blood circulation and lymph flow. Obviously, it relaxes muscles and improves range of motion, but it also increases endorphin release and assists immune system function. As a rehabilitative tool, it is very effective. By stimulating weak and stagnant muscles, it can help compensate for a lack of activity and exercise resulting from injury or illness.
