Supervised Clinical Practice

During the Massage and Bodywork Therapy Certification program, students are required to personally choose a clinical practice supervisor(s) of their choice that must be approved by the school. The approved clinical practice supervisor(s) must monitor the student’s clinical practice and submit the student’s clinical practice evaluation forms supplied by the school.

The purpose of the clinical practice supervisor is to verify that students, in fact, the person who enrolled in the course of study is observing and practicing massage therapy at a legally operating massage business. During clinical supervision, students may request the assistance of the supervisor to guide them through their clinical practices in order to obtain more knowledge about proper clinical procedures including but not limited to client’s interview, pre-session assessment, formulation of massage session, and treatment delivery. Potential clinical supervisors must be state licensed massage therapists or equivalent, other than a relative or current INHE student. Potential clinical supervisors practicing massage therapy in states that do not require a license to practice massage therapy must be nationally certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
