YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Yuma healthcare services are expanding! A local family founded and opened a new massage therapy school.

The Arizona School of Myotherapy offers a two-semester course with lectures and hands-on training from seven professional faculty members. It also offers a variety of courses like business management, anatomy and kinesiology, and clinical practice.

They say it's great to bring this tech school to our community with the nationwide demand for massage therapists continuing to rise.

"The beauty of it- they don't have to travel. We're the only school in a 170 mile radius. On top of that, our program is a lot more affordable than our competitors in the Phoenix, San Diego area," said school Arizona School of Myotherapy co owner Matthew Avila.
