About Us

Since 1996, SOCHI formerly known as IPPT Career School, has been dedicated and committed to helping students achieve their dreams by providing an exceptional education that enables them to become skilled and successful manual therapists. We have graduated over 1,500 students who are now a part of a larger community of health and wellness professionals.

Our mission is to provide quality programs in an environment of scholastic learning to encourage empathetic and compassionate therapists, dedicated to the ethical and social principles of the profession and committed to a lifetime of continued learning.

SOCHI focuses its teaching on European Medical Massage Therapy, which was developed in Russia and later in Germany some hundreds of years ago. This method of therapy is non-invasive in nature and has been shown to be extremely effective in treating and preventing injuries, stress and illness. Additionally, our curriculum is rich with other modalities, such as: Deep Tissue, Swedish, Chair, Pregnancy and Sports Massage. We also incorporate popular Eastern modalities such as Thai and Shiatsu.

The most unique offering at SOCHI is the Physical Therapy Aide/Sports Rehab program, which provides the student with career training as a Physical Therapy & Sports Rehab Aide and a Massage Therapist. The program applies an integrated approach to health and wellness by incorporating medical massage and physical therapy modalities.
