Northwestern Health Sciences University School of Massage
Therapy operates a Teaching Clinic. Interns provide massage
therapy services under the supervision of a School of Massage
Therapy faculty member, and participate in the Teaching Clinic
as part of their educational program. Interns will take a
brief health history relevant to massage therapy and will
provide a full body relaxation-oriented massage in their
second term and a more clinically focused trigger point based
massage in their third term.
