Brandon Raynor, What A Tease
2 August 2007A Mr. Brandon Raynor has been protesting the restrictions placed on education for licensed Massage Therapists from the AMTA. They require 500 hours of training for more than many legitimate reasons. I checked out his site and all of the photos show horrible body mechanics. So anyone finished with his training won?t last long giving massages.
His school is a great idea for anyone wanting to learn cool massage moves, but I highly doubt that a 5 day certificate training or a 10 day diploma in massage qualifies anyone to earn a living and be governed under all the laws and authorities appropriate for running a business. Great idea for partner or friends and family massage but to tease a person into thinking they can have a career in 5 days at $1500 and 10 days at $2500 is just wrong.
For the most part he has classes available in states that currently don’t require a license, Idaho and Montana for example. I can see why he is protesting. I don’t know him personally but I am sure he means no real harm, and personally all I see is disaster written all over this situation.
