DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 12, 2014) - The student massage clinic at Daytona State College will be open to the public each Thursday beginning Feb. 20 through May 1, except March 13 when the College will be closed for spring break.

Offering full-body, 50-minute Swedish massages under faculty supervision, students in the vocational credit certificate program gain hands-on experience while clients enjoy the soothing effects of therapeutic massage. A donation of $16 supports the clinic and provides scholarships for students.

Graduates of this program have pursued careers as massage therapists at spas and reports, physical therapy centers, rehabilitation clinics and on sports teams.

The massage clinic is open to the public on Thursdays with appointments at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 5 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Clients should bring with them two twin sheets (preferably one fitted and one flat), one pillowcase and one large towel. Alternatively, a $5 fee for disposable linens will apply.

The clinic is located in Health Sciences Hall, room 129 (a.m. appointments) and room 107 (p.m. appointments) on the Daytona Beach Campus at 1200 W. International Speedway Boulevard.
