The MIR Institute, School of Massage and Pain Management Therapy, was started by Dr. Alireza Mir-shojae to provide high quality and affordable vocational training to students and massage enthusiasts. Massage therapy techniques have expanded opportunities for employment in corporations, athletic leagues, hospitals, and start-up companies. The sensual art of massage is medically proven to provide relief from stress and increase blood flow to injured skin areas and strained muscles. Many students are discovering this new career path and beginning to enroll in a massage school.

Private and hands on training is used at the MIR massage therapy school. Students learn to use effective hand massage techniques that are used to relax and stimulate overworked or strained muscles due to injury or soreness. Popular techniques are used to instruct massage school students how to manipulate the skin tissue providing relief to the neck, legs, back, and arms.
