At the National Holistic Institute (NHI), we’ve been training professional massage therapists for over 40 years—and we know that real success in this field comes from both foundational training and advanced clinical skills. That’s why we created the Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy (ANMT) Program: a comprehensive, hands-on curriculum that builds on your foundational Core Massage Therapy Program training while preparing you to work at the highest level of the profession.
Two Ways to Complete Your Advanced Massage Training
We are excited to now offer two flexible options to complete the ANMT Program—making it more accessible than ever for massage therapists across the country.
100% Online ANMT Virtual Program
Designed for massage therapists who need maximum flexibility, this fully online, 450-hour program brings advanced clinical massage training to your screen—wherever you are. Students attend live, instructor-led classes alongside their peers, complete interactive assignments, and develop skills in areas like:
- Clinical reasoning and treatment planning
- Myofascial trigger point therapy
- Functional anatomy and biomechanics
- SOAP note documentation and HOPS assessments
New instructional videos and asynchronous activities simulate the hands-on experience—without the need to be on campus.
Yes—this is a fully online Advanced Massage Therapy Program designed for massage therapists that have completed their entry level education. And yes—it’s eligible for federal financial aid.
Hybrid ANMT Program (In-Person + Online)
Prefer some in-person instruction? Our Hybrid ANMT format combines the best of both worlds. Students complete the academic portion online through live virtual lectures and interactive coursework, and attend one day a week on campus for supervised bodywork evaluations and hands-on instruction.
This format is perfect for those who want structure, mentorship, and community—without sacrificing flexibility.
