Raising Up The Next Generation Of Massage Therapists

Many people view massage as a relaxing part of a “spa day”. But as society gains more awareness around interventions for pain reduction, symptom management, and management of inflammation, it’s been proven that science-backed massage has the power to dramatically relieve pain and even restore functionality.

Pinnacle Massage is founded on the belief that massage can be more than just “stress relief.” Massage is a proven technique that can be used as an intervention to assist with healing. We are committed to providing you with the cutting-edge education you need to start your career as a massage therapist. By providing you with the most comprehensive education in the industry, you can become a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and begin confidently serving your community as a professional in just 11 months.

Our goal, beyond training more healing hands, is to provide you with an opportunity for freedom through a career you can shape to fit your own needs and lifestyle. Whether you want to work in a hospital, medical center, or private practice, you’ll leave Pinnacle with a top tier education and the in-demand skills you need to begin your new career.

About Your Teacher, Javier Melendez

At age 19, I was in a car accident and landed myself in the hospital with herniated L4 & L5 discs. As my pain continued, I began to feel depressed, hopeless, and unsure where to go next. That’s when I discovered the power of massage, chiropractic and physical therapy that ultimately healed me, and also sparked a life-long calling…

Eager to learn more, I began my own massage career working for a chiropractic office in the Michiana area. With no experience in the field, the doctor saw a spark in me, and miraculously ended up paying for my massage education. With newfound training and a desire to give back, a passion for helping others was ignited within me that has not dimmed in 30+ years of serving my community. From working with professional athletes, to running my own successful massage practice (on referrals from physical therapists, chiropractors, neurologists, and more), I can confidently say that massage is my purpose in life. I cannot wait to teach you how to relieve, remedy, educate and bring active daily function back into people’s lives through the power of massage. And I can only humbly hope this work will change your life, much as it has changed mine.
