Choosing a Massage School

by Ido

Once you have decided that you want to go to massage school, make sure that you have get a lot of massages. Go out and receive massage from different therapists, who practice different massage techniques. Talk to your therapist. Let them know that you are interested in massage therapy as a career. Ask them about the school that they went to, how they liked their school and other details about that school.

Reflect on what massage felt the best. If there seemed to be a trend for therapists being good from a particular school, look into that school.
When researching different schools, make sure that they are accredited and that they give you the minimum hours of training in each subject needed to meet the requirements in your state.

A good thing to find out is if the school emphasizes body mechanics, as that is very important when you are doing several massages a day.

While looking at massage schools keep receiving regular massage. Once you are in school you will be receiving several hours a week of massage. It is best to accustom yourself to that slowly.

Massage therapy is not for everyone! It is hard on your body!
