Trocaire College Student Massage Therapy Clinic Open to Public

Destress with a relaxing massage! Trocaire College, a private, Catholic college providing a pathway for students to build careers of achievement and lives of purpose, has re-opened its student massage therapy clinic for the semester and is offering discounted 60-minute massage sessions to students, staff and the public. Under the supervision of instructors, Trocaire’s massage therapy students provide a variety of massages from Swedish to therapeutic at its on-campus clinic located at 360 Choate Ave., South Buffalo.

“Massage therapy techniques help to improve muscle tone and circulation and promote overall wellness, stress management and rehabilitation,” said Susan Sullivan, LMT, Trocaire’s massage therapy program director. “Our clinic is an opportunity for students to continue to practice the learned techniques in a real-world clinical setting as they work toward completing their program and preparing for their licensure exam.”

The Trocaire student massage therapy clinic runs through May 14 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 – 5 p.m. A 60-minute massage is $40 for the public. A paraffin hand dip can also be added for $5. Appointments are required and can be scheduled by calling 716-827-2518.

Trocaire College’s massage therapy programs include a 10-month certificate offering and a two-year associate in applied science degree. Each program combines lectures, laboratory experiences and clinical rotations at facilities throughout the region for a comprehensive understanding of both Eastern and Western massage therapy techniques. Graduates of both programs are eligible to sit for the New York State board licensure exam.
