Therapeutic Massage Clinic
Experience a relaxing and therapeutic massage at a great price.
The Therapeutic Massage Clinic simulates a real-world working environment for therapeutic massage students. All massages are 50-minutes.
Our mission at the student clinic is to provide a supportive environment where each student can practice and perfect their skills in preparation for a career in Therapeutic Massage. The student utilizes the clinic setting as an extension of their education by combining various approaches and techniques they have learned.
The student learns to use professional observation and information from the client to implement an effective session.
The student does not diagnose or otherwise suggest treatments outside the scope of a massage therapist. If you have a specific request, we recommend you seek a professional therapist or your medical professional.

- The purpose of the Student Massage Clinic is to provide every student with equal opportunities to work with a variety of clients.

Requests for a particular student therapist will be considered; however, assignment to that therapist is subject to availability and the needs of the students
Appointment Policy
Please arrive 10 minutes early to complete necessary paperwork, and prepare for your session. A session is comprised of one hour: 50 minutes of massage time, five minutes for disrobing/redressing and five minutes for consultation with the therapist.
Harper College is proud of the individuality and diversity of education for its students. Therefore, we do not honor requests for male or female therapist.
Confirming Appointments
The student massage clinic is for educational purposes only. It is essential that students have clients to work with. Each client will receive a reminder call approximately 1-3 days before the scheduled appointment.
Late Appointments
Due to the scheduling nature of the clinic, clients who arrive late will have a shorter appointment. Please call 847.925.6000 ex 2805 and alert us to let us know if you are going to be late for your appointment. Clients who arrive late and do not notify the clinic may lose their appointment to another client.
Cancel or Reschedule Appointment
No-show
Unfortunately, clients who are a “no show” or fail to notify us of their inability to attend their scheduled massage will be denied future appointments.
Cancel an Appointment
Please provide 24 hour notice in advance. Clients who do not cancel scheduled appointments will be charged the full amount.
The Therapeutic Massage Clinic reserves the right to terminate a session or refuse appointments to persons behaving in an unethical or inappropriate manner
