Massage Therapy Instructors

If you are intrigued by massage therapy but also have a passion for teaching, a career as a massage therapy instructor might be the right choice for you.

The best massage therapy instructors are knowledgeable about their field and are passionate about what they do.  Most massage therapy instructors have a bachelor’s degree and ten year of experience working as a massage therapist.  Massage therapy instructors are very knowledgeable about different massage modalities and are able to perform different types of massages.   In addition to having your bachelor’s degree and years of experience in the field, potential massage therapy instructors should stay current with continuing education credits and taking courses related to adult education.  In some states you are required to become state certified to teach massage therapy.  Some courses you can anticipate taking are lesson planning, theories of massage, learning strategies, classroom activities and massage technology.  Some massage schools specialize in teaching massage therapists to become licensed instructors.  Becoming a massage therapy instructor can be a great way to enhance your career as a massage therapist.
