Institute for Therapeutic Massage (ITM) will be hosting an Open House next Wednesday, September 29th from 6:30-9:00pm at the Red Bank Campus, which is located at 213 (State) Route 35N, in Red Bank, Monmouth County, New Jersey 07701.
This informative session will present an opportunity for those who are interested in learning massage therapy, shiatsu, and personal training, to ask questions to an Admissions Representative, Financial Aid representative, and teachers from the Education Department in a no-pressure environment.

Some of the typical questions that we get asked, and will be answered include, but are not limited to:
