Mission Statement
The mission of New Hampshire Institute for Therapeutic Arts is to provide professional preparation in massage therapy. Our primary academic objective is to teach Massage Therapy within the overall context of Natural Therapeutics, thereby to produce graduates who are health professionals in every sense.
Along with and beyond knowledge of anatomy and physiology, we provide training and education in applications of specific methods, indications and contraindications for various techniques, therapeutic sensitivity, client relations, recognition of adjunctive therapies, and basic business and ethical skills in managing a practice. Our training emphasizes Massage Therapy as an ideal preventive and curative method within the framework and experience of a health center and as such support with the wellness model of health care.
