Choosing a massage school may be the most important step you take on your journey to become a massage therapist. It is imperative that you find a good quality program that matches with your philosophy and approach to massage. The first step you can take is to find what massage schools are in your area. The next thing you can do is determine what type of accreditation the schools have. The U.S. Department of Education offers a search for accredited schools under any of their approved agencies such as Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation. You can also see if the school is on a Continuing Education provider list with a national organization such as the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork where all the courses must meet high standards.
The next aspect you should examine is the techniques and philosophy the massage school teaches. Some schools teach from a relaxation and spa-oriented perspective while others may teach from a more anatomical and physiological approach, and still others may incorporate techniques from an Eastern tradition including shiatsu, yoga, and Reiki. You may want to find a school that offers a sampling of many approaches so that you are trained with a well-rounded education in massage. Some schools also offer practical help for being in business on your own. If you plan to hang out your own shingle, then you may want to attend a school that provides information on how to market yourself and maintain a business.
