MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR CAREER AND PEOPLE’S LIVES
Palpation Prep School of Massage is a premier massage school in western Kentucky. Licensed by the Kentucky Commission on Proprietary Education, we teach knowledge and skills necessary to becoming a leading massage therapist helping clients overcome debilitating pain and leading healthier lives.
Massage schools are not all alike. Palpation Prep School of Massage differs in that the majority of our focus throughout school is on understanding and resolving complex pain and dysfunction that our clients face on a daily basis. We help students become critical thinkers who can assess and treat acute and chronic problems many of our population live with today.
HOW PALPATION PREP IS DIFFERENT
We educate students on the 4 pillars of success in massage therapy.
- Quality Education in Technical Assessment
- Following the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice
- Communicating with compassion, empathy, and integrity.
- Combining muscle manipulation with the science of body alignment, we educate to identify the ROOT cause of many pain syndromes.
Learn how you can help conditions such as back pain, whiplash, carpal tunnel
syndrome, headaches, plus more!
