About Bodywork U

Bodywork U is the web's premiere destination for information on massage schools and continuing education classes for massage therapists and bodyworkers. We list thousands of continuing education classes and massage school programs, and our database grows every day to keep prospective massage students and massage and bodywork professionals up to date on study opportunities.

What's Included on the Bodywork U Site

We aim to be the web's most comprehensive massage-education resource, so we both scan the web to discover basic information on continuing education classes and massage school programs, which we publish here. We also invite continuing education providers and massage schools to enter and manage their own listings on our site. Both free and paid listings are available. Contact us for details.

Massage-Therapist Owned and Operated

Bodywork U was founded and is run by Larry Swanson, a Seattle-based massage therapist and long-time publisher and marketer who got tired of missing great continuing education classes because there was no one-stop-shopping source for massage education information. Larry attended a 1,000-hour massage training program and has since completed 600 hours of massage continuing education, and he is by no means done studying. He worked in educational publishing from 1984 until 1996. From 1996 until 2003, he worked in the dot-com world in both senior management positions and as a consultant. He has practiced massage part time from 1999 until 2003 and full time since early 2003. Throughout his careers, he has taught numerous classes and workshops in both professional and academic settings and has developed a number of professional training programs and academic curricula. This site is the logical convergence of his career paths. Larry is assisted at Bodywork U by a talented editorial and marketing staff and a variety of technical experts.
