See Gone, but not forgotten

The Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage (commonly referred as OSTM) was a for-profit massage training school with clinics for pre-set appointments for massage for the public.

The objective of the Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage was to provide training in the science of massage with the intent of graduating exceptionally trained, high-quality massage therapists. Programs were offered during the day in 6-month and 12-month programs, or in the evening in a 15-month format. The curriculum was hour based. In order to graduate, students must complete one-thousand hours of rigorous science classes, hands on classes, business & communication classes, and law & ethics classes.

Closed December 2021.

I booked an appointment a few weeks in advance and the receptionist told me that a female therapist would not be a problem. When I got there, they charged me in advance and then told me only male therapists were available. I asked for my money back and they refused. —WegmansFiend

The policy is: "We try our best to honor your request, but cannot 100% guarantee it". Normally, it is not an issue, and I have never had an instance where I received the opposite. Believe it or not, it's a student clinic, they are not obligated like spas and businesses to take requests AT ALL, it's just a courtesy OSTM offers for the conveience of the clients! :) —JadeJennifer
