At the present time, we are currently testing various MDT classes and will begin classes in the summer of 2018 in San Antonio, TX. Any massage therapists who are interested should contact us ASAP to be added to the waiting list at 210.483.6263.
The MDT launch is in the summer of 2018 in San Antonio, TX. Once launched, we will then listen to the interested therapists and choose future locations. If you are interested in hosting the workshops in your areas please contact us. Till then, therapists can come to San Antonio and choose from 3 different educational formats. Experience it in San Antonio, and then help us bring it to your city.
PS: San Antonio is a GREAT place to visit! 🙂
Yes. There are 3 ways to take the MDT program.
- Workshops: Classes can be taken in one or two day workshops which will be offered monthly.
- Apprenticeship: Therapists can apply for the apprenticeship format in which classes are given 1 day a week, each week in a smaller informal format. This series runs quarterly.
- Intensive Study: Therapists can choose to take the core curriculum of a track in a 5 day (straight) workshop. This is most conducive for therapists traveling from out of town. This format is ONLY recommended for therapists with STRONG science and hands-on skills.
Presently we are organizing and reviewing all the class descriptions while we are in pre-launch. Feel free to call us for more information at: (210) 483.6263
Its ok, we don't bite...well not on the weekdays.
We are an approved CEU provider for the state of Texas. We are waiting to be re-certified with NCBTBM. Those therapists in the state of Texas will receive CEU's for the approved courses within the program. Contact us for specific details.

Of the 3 tracks, we have only released the first track. We will launch the start of Track 2 once we have established a following for the program, and an adequate number of therapists have enrolled and completed the first series of classes.
PS: Bring a friend! 🙂
Maybe. The MDT program is open to all licensed therapists who are allowed to perform "massage" to the whole body as stated in their scope of practice. We also allow students of approved massage schools to enter the series with written documentation from their school.
Some of our elective courses are open to various healthcare professionals. Please check each course description for any "Special Notes" to see if you are eligible.
PS: Not a massage therapist? What are you waiting for...get in school. Its only the coolest profession out there. 🙂
Jump around all you want; its great exercise!
As for the program, YES you will have to take certain classes (prerequisites) before other classes. As for the tracks, you will need to start with the MDT-1 track first.
No. The cadaver lab classes are elective classes. Therapists are allowed to choose their electives and build their program the way that best fits their practice.
Intensive! Who even told you about that? That's Top Secret! Someone is in a lot trouble!
Well seeing you already heard about it, and no one ever reads these FAQs; I'll share a little bit with just you. We will be launching a MDT-1 Intensive in the late fall. It will combine all the workshops in a series so therapists who are out of town can fly in and complete them all within 1 full week of study. Once announced, we will interview and accept 12 "qualified" therapists. Contact us for more information. Shhhhh
Yes. Therapists are also allowed to receive some credit from approved continuing education classes, and even some work "real life" experience. Contact us regarding specific details.
No. Each track is a separate certification, and by completing all 3 tracks the therapist is awarded with an additional MDT masters certificate.
No. We understand that not everyone will want to (or be able to) enroll in the MDT program. Therefore some of our elective classes are open anyone meeting each classes qualifications.
Perfect! Give us a call. We would love to hear from you!
