If you love massage and want a career in massage therapy, choosing the right massage school is an essential first step. There are many different massage techniques and approaches to massage education. Select the school that best fits your own personal beliefs and philosophy. Practical considerations like student teacher ratio, facilities, number of teachers and variety of course offerings are also important when deciding on the right massage school for you.Study the philosophy of the massage school that you are considering attending. Massage schools can emphasize everything from sports massage to alternative healing using massage. Speak to a representative of the massage school about their educational philosophy.
Look at student teacher ratio and class size. There is no standard ratio for an effective education, but small class sizes mean more personal attention and a better learning environment.
Visit the school's facilities before making a decision. New equipment, spacious class areas and a clean and well-lit environment are good indications of a healthy institution.
Speak with a counselor or representative of the massage school and ask about course offerings and certification requirements. Ask to visit a class as a guest to get a feeling for teacher quality and student satisfaction.
