I looked at a degree for my college that I am planning to attend for arts. I have decided to do massage therapy then go back for arts. But the classes required for the degree do not seem like they would teach any hands on massage maneuvers (it is a community college). I think I might have to look for a different school. I live in Minnesota I can not find the regulations for class hours or if it even is regulated in this state but I am going to look for them again.
Check out ABMP.com and AMTA.org for information on massage and massage schools. These are the two trade associations in the US. A good program will usually be at least 500 hours and most states that do license require at least 500 hours of training (good to think about if you ever want to move). Some schools offer a certificate others an associates degree, if you are planning to continue your studies and pursue a degree in art it might be nice to get an associates and get some of your core classes out of the way at a community college.
Any Massage school should include hands on training, you will usually trade with your classmates, have a required number of outside massages you give to your friends and family and a clinic where you work on the public. You should also ask if you will be trained to give a whole body massage. Some schools (particularly those part of the state system) may not train in massage for the gluteals (buttocks), chest, breasts or muscle attachment sites near the genitals.
You should also find out what modalities you can be trained in and whether you will be able to get certified in them. Reflexology, hot stone, and prenatal are some very popular spa services and training can be expensive if you have to pick it up outside of school.
I would suggest scheduling a couple of massages and asking the therapists what school they went to and what they thought of their training. Ask at spa’s which schools they respect and schedule an interview with the program coordinator to get your questions answered. A little work and dilgence now will help you get a better idea of where to go and what to do.
Also MN is not regulated at this time:http://www.massagetherapy.com/careers/stateboards.php
How do I choose which course to start with? Which types of massage are most popular? and how long should it take?
thank you
Contact your local college of further education and ask them for advice, dont spend a fortune on courses.
