Description
Swedish Institute is dedicated to a natural approach to health care since its inception in 1916, celebrates its 95th anniversary this year!
Founded by Captain Theodore Melander, a native of Sweden, the school was initially called the Swedish Institute for Physiotherapy. It taught a system of massage therapy, exercise and external applications popular in Europe at the time.
Swedish Institute has maintained its focus on massage therapy through the years, and has the oldest Massage Therapy Program in the country. In 1996, Swedish Institute broadened its commitment to natural health care education when it initiated a three-year Master's level Acupuncture Program.
In 2011 we began news programs for Advanced Personal Training, Clinical and Administrative Medical Assistant and Surgical Technologist.
In addition, Swedish Institute offers Professional Continuing Education courses that help graduates maintain and refine their skills.
