Massage Therapy Schools

There are over 1500 massage therapy schools in the US alone. There are no rating systems or help for choosing the best massage school. What is the best massage school to some is really not good for others. So the best thing to do is to find the massage school that is best for you and your needs.

Massage Therapy Schools are in the business of getting new students to fill their classes. Massage schools that are based on only making money usually will eventually fail. Since massage is such a personal business that attracts caring people, what is most important is getting a quality education and more one on one training. Hands on experience and more individualized attention can usually be given in a smaller, privately owned massage school.

You can tell from the massage therapy schools website just what their intention is. If it flashes and spins around and avoids answering the most basic questions like "How much does your program cost?" or "How much will I be able to make as a massage therapist?" or it doesn't answer questions through email or phone calls and makes you have to go into the school for an appointment - you should use caution. They are trying to sell you on their school.

A good massage school will just lay out all of your options and information and let you sit in on classes as well as talk to graduates and students. You won't have to be 'sold'. You will just know in your heart if it is the right fit for you and the massage school!

You can find out more about how to research schools and decide on what school is best for you in my Ebook -The Massage Career Guide The truth about becoming a massage therapist. In it I have a section on what to ask potential massage schools and what to ask yourself so that you can be more aware of your own needs when it comes to choosing a massage school. Choosing a massage school is just the first step in becoming a massage therapist and what you get out of massage school really depends on you and what you put into massage school. Your success will depend on YOU!
