The UCSF Stad Center offers specialized advanced training for professional massage therapists interested in serving individuals living with an illness or undergoing medical treatments in healthcare settings. 

Each course includes didactics, demonstrations, and/or hands-on practice. Our yearlong HBMT fellowship program offers comprehensive training for massage therapy in hospital settings. Our three-day courses are crafted to the needs of clients experiencing a particular medical issue, such as oncologic or neurologic conditions. Our one-day retreat, is an opportunity for self-care and reflection on the provider-client relationship. Continuing Education credits are available for all trainings.

Our massage therapy instructors bring robust clinical experience, engagement in the latest research, and expertise in innovative teaching methods.
