Cortiva Acquires Second Arizona School

Cortiva Institute has purchased the Phoenix Therapeutic Massage College, which has campuses in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona. In 2005, the education company purchased the Desert Institute of the Healing Arts in Tucson.

The latest acquisition brings Cortiva’s massage-school property holdings to 13. The company also owns schools in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, Colorado, Washington and Massachusetts.

Cortiva offers professional training courses in massage therapy and, in Scottsdale, personal-fitness training. Cortiva has also partnered with eCornell, an online division of Cornell University’s Graduate School of Management, School of Hotel Administration, and School of Industrial and Labor Relations, to offer marketing and business courses.
