I can't tell you where to go. I live in Cali. But it definately isn't a thank-less job. It feels great knowing that you're making such a difference in so many people's lives. The work is very physical and you have to keep your body in good shape, certain muscles and tendons to be specific, or you won't last more than 2 or 3 years due to overuse injuries. Most schools have classes on how to prevent this and what to do to strengthen your body for the job. Another pro is that, at least in Cali, it costs much less for your education than 4 yr colleges. All colleges courses are designed differently, so you'd have to pick a few and look at their programs. They can assist you in which classes to take depending on what route you want to take with massage. yes, there are many. be it for relaxation purposes or a more holistic approach.  Good luck and have fun

Getting a massage (if within budget) is the best way. I do alot of running and this is by far the best way I have noticed and tried!!

I suggest seriously looking into Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic. Its in South Carolina.\n\nAmong everything else, it still focuses on the philosophy of chiropractic... and that's essential to understanding the ideas behind it as well as how to get the most for your patients!\n\nSchools like Palmer have lost a lot of the philosophy side and go a lot on just their name at the moment, so I wouldn't recommend it.\n\nAlso.. pay no attention to the above answer... anyone who calls it chiropracty obviously has no idea what they're talking about!

It's a good idea to decide what type of massage you want to do. Relaxation? Sports massage? There are so many different types. Look into schools in your area. Any reputable school will let you stop in & check it out. Talk to the students. Does the school have a job placement policy? Find out what is needed for licensing or certification in your state. Are you comfortable touching strangers? Having to massage hairy backs & funky feet? There is a lot of literature out there to get info. It's also a good idea to check out the number of massage therpists in your area. Is there room for 1 more or is your area so over populated with them that there isn't enough business? The income can be very sporadic. A bunch of clients for a couple of months, then none for a couple of weeks. Check out these websites. They have a lot of great info.\nhttp://www.massagetherapy.com/home/index.php\nhttp://www.amtamassage.org/default.aspx

Massage therapy has many benefits.  Just so you know, I am a brand new massage therapist, and the following list comes from one of our texts "Handbook of healing massage techniques":\n\nMassage therapy can\n\nenhance tissue repair and scar formation\n\nimprove connective tissue health\n\nincrease superficial circulation\n\nremove dead skin\n\nadd moisture to skin with oil or lotion\n\npromote good joint function\n\npromote joint flexibility and range of motion\n\npromote proper skeletal alignment\n\npromote specific and general muscle relaxation\n\nbring the part of the nervous system in contol of relaxation into dominance over the part of the nervous system that control stress\n\nsharpen body awareness\n\nrelease endorphins\n\nreduce blood pressure and heart rate\n\nimprove growth and development in infants\n\nThis is just a partial list.  Massage does many things, and it effects can be general or very specific to the client.\n\nIn most states, you need a license to practice massage.  You can go to American Massage Therapy Association for information about schools.

I would recommend a Thai yoga massage course in Thailand.\nThis course involves yoga and meditation every morning, and learning Thai massage during the day. By the time you have completed the course, which you can do several times with different teachers, you are able to give massages to others, and therefore have an independent way of earning a living.\nAdditionally, during the time there, with yoga every day, your yoga techniques will be improved, and you will have met many people who have been on other yoga retreats around the world, and will receive the best knowledge available.\n\nThe setting for these courses is unique, and an experience on itself.\n\n\nhttp://www.thaiyogamassage.infothai.com/

Where you live? Find out if you have a school of massage therapy near by, in the clinic they give massage for the price of nothing. If you go to a spa it might cost you about 65$ to 100, but if you find a school with a clinic where students are doing their intership it might cost you only 25 to 30 dollars.\nGood luck

As long as you're licensed in the state in which you are seeking clients (some people aren't), I would recommend checking with chiropractors and at figure salons. Give free talks about massage to the Optomists, Rotary club and Chamber of Commerse. Also, put an ad in the paper offering discounts for multiple massages, or couples. Write an article about massage and offer it as filler to the local paper. Offer massage at all the senior citizen places. (Remember, seniors are more delicate, so you have to go easy.)Lots of massage therapists make a wonderful living by specializing in massaging seniors. My Dad's masseuse got Christmas bonuses from her clients adding up into the thousands. She was really terrific. She was the only one of his caregivers that he remembered in his will. Do you know what she did with the money? She sent flowers to his children and his sister. You could be as beloved as our Marnny. She works 30 hours a week massaging seniors and makes a good 60K+ per year. Use your imagination. There are probably hundreds of other ways to promote your  business. Have you thought about donating a massage to a fundraiser in exchange for the names and phone numbers of the people who entered the drawing? Do you offer "M"bucks for referrals? (That's massage bucks, good for application toward a massage.) How about offering coupon books as gifts for friends and relatives? You could make a killing around this time of the year, because what do you get the guy who has everything?? Have you spoken to Human Resources Directors at local stress-inducing businesses? What a wonderful benefit to receive as a reward for a job well done! You could wind up with more business than you can handle! (That's when you raise your prices and hire help!) If you have a portable massage chair, what about traveling massages for executives? That's just a few ideas. I hope you do well in your search for clients!

yep. sure, here's one...\n\nand another one...\n\nOh, and my wife has some...\n\nOK?  Did you get all that?  Now, about scoliosis and the massage technics for persons with it...\n\nand be careful about anyone with a broken back that has since \n'healed'...  \n\nLike this...  \n\nHTH!\n\nNext week, Swedish Massage, and then, Reflexology!\n\nWe could condense these different two year long courses down to a few cool moves, right?

It varies from state to state, but in general you have to be certified as a massage therapist. This means a couple of semesters of school at a registered massage therapy school, plus hands-on training, and passing a comprehensive written test and a practical administered by the state board. And that just gets you certified. You'll still need a lot more upper level classes and experience to pass yourself off as a sports massage therapist.\n\nCheck out the local registered massage therapy schools in your area for more information. And yes, the teachers at these schools must be registered both as massage therapists and as massage therapy instructors.

I've heard UCLA has a good program; one of the Marine Science Academy teachers at my old school took a program there. But also UC Santa Barbara, since it has the additional benefit of being right next to a beach. Also UC San Diego, I think.

www.spawish.com\n\nyou can buy gift certificates that participating massage parlors accept, so she can look up packages online and can choose for herself. it's a nationwide thing, also...so i'm sure there are a few places in your area.
