Do You Want To Be A Massage Therapist?
28 July 2007My first week as a Massage student was an eye opening experience. Number one not everyone that was there knew they had to be naked under the sheets and actually get a massage. I heard one person say, I don’t like to be touched. Uh, yah.. In order to be a therapist you must know what it is like to have a massage in order to give one. Others insisted on only massaging people they knew, not knowing anyone in the class that would be kind of hard.
I blamed this on the administration of the school I was attending. Yes within the first two weeks the original 27 students in my class became much less and by the time I graduated had 9 original classmates graduating with me. I am not saying this to scare anyone away from becoming a therapist. I just believe some things are not confirmed to prospective students. I found “The Massage Therapy Little Book” online by the Cortiva Institute.
This guidebook is available online or it can be sent in the mail. It talks about the history of massage, present and its future. What it means to be a massage therapist, how to find the right school and what to expect after graduation. To find it go to this link:
