Employment opportunities for massage therapists are expected to grow 19 percent yearly from 2008 to 2018, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, because more people are learning the benefits of massage therapy. The University of Richmond School of Continuing Studies is introducing a Center for Massage Therapy Studies that will provide clinical and therapeutic massage education for existing massage therapists and those interested in the profession. The School of Continuing Studies was always trying to figure out what the community needed and meet that need, Stephanie Bowlin, community education outreach program manager, said. "We felt like this would be a good fit for us also because the university is so dedicated to wellness and health," Bowlin said.

It is performed to treat painful ailments, decompress tired and overworked muscles, reduce stress, rehabilitate sports injuries and promote general health. The School of Continuing Studies will be an approved provider of the Certified Massage Therapist program through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
