Massage Therapy Training (LMT)?

Question

I'm considering starting a career in Massage Therapy.. I live in NY state, is there and LMT's out there that can give me a run down of what it costs to get licensed, how much schooling is required, and the basics I will be taught?

Answer 1

You have to find out what licensing requirements there are in NY.  You can check with the state massage board.

Schools will vary by classes and the number of hours.  You will be taught basic swedish  massage, anatomy, physiology and pathology.  You will most likely get some other types of massage that you can choose from like deep tissue massage, medical massage and others.

Choose a school based on your own personal needs and learning styles.

Before you decide on  a career, go and get a dozen or so massages from different people if you haven't already.
