"Movement is the song of the body"

Vanda Scaravelli

Movement, it’s what drives us forward. It brings new life to each day. When we are in pain and movement feels impossible, joy can feel miles away. Sometimes our movement can be inhibited through injury, surgery or even stress. If you have ever been in this place, you know what I’m talking about.  It’s very easy to go from a state of joy to a state of depression when we suddenly cannot move the way we are used to and do the things we like to do! 
 
The Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy is more than just a massage school. It’s an opportunity to help make a difference in others' lives!  If you have ever had a good therapeutic massage or sports massage, you know how beneficial it is to help keep you moving.  Our goal is to give you an opportunity to establish a career that’s full of purpose.  Helping bring life back to others by decreasing pain and increasing range of motion is an ultimate reward!

The Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy provides a Certification in Neuromuscular Therapy through the International Academy of Neuromuscular Therapy along with a certification in Trigger point Therapy, Swedish massage and Integrative techniques. 

For more information about our certification programs visit us at CIMT.edu or call us at 719-634-7347.  You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram @massageschoolcom

Fun Fact!

In 1972 Peter Strudwick did the Ascent in 4:20:29 and the Marathon in 7:02:28. What is so incredible about that you ask? Well, soon after his mother had caught rubella, commonly called German measles, Peter was born with legs that ended in stumps just past the ankles, a left arm that had only one thumb and a finger, and a right arm ending at the wrist.
When Zebulon Pike tried to ascend the mountain that would later be named after him he was turned back by the harsh weather. Many claim he said that no one would ever reach its summit. However, it is generally accepted that he meant on that day, under those conditions. The snow was waist deep and his men were not dressed for it and were out of food.
“Militant tobacco-hating physician” Dr. Arne Suominen from Delray Beach FL, became the founder of the modern day Pikes Peak races when he wrote a letter to the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce in 1956 and challenged cigarette smokers to race him up and down Pikes Peak. 1956 Results
