A massage therapist is someone who treats those with tension and helps improves circulation by bringing oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues. They use many different forms of body techniques for these issures.
I went to a place called Lincoln Technical Institute. The courses I had to take were the following: Massage Business Administration, Psychology of the Body and CPR, Intro to Massage & Bodywork, Massage & Bodyworks Procedures, Techniques, & Routines, Reflexology & Acupressure, Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology I and II, Massage Bodywork and Specialized Massage, Trigger Point and Myofascial Therapy, Spa Services, and my last class was Clinic where my class mates and I had to pretend we were in a real-life Massage Clinic. Kind of like our internship. You have to go to a school that is credited for Massage Body work. If you need help with that you can e-mail me and tell me your area and I can find out where you can go. But you need to know your bones, bony landmarks,and muscles. You need to no where the muscles insert and the origin. You have to be able to identify pain. If a person has a head ache it could be because of lower back pain. You have to no your medical terms if you work in a medical setting.
Now salary varies. If you are on your own I can't stress enough that you are not going to make loads of money at first. It takes time. My best advice for you is to apply to a Spa or Chiropractor's Office first to get experience. It is really up to you how much you will make. If you don't promote yourself and love what you do. You are not going to make any money. I graduated this year in Feb. I thought I would be making loads of money but with how the economy is now, it is hard to start a business on your own from scratch. You have to no what kind of client you want to have. Do you want ppl that need more medical attention or do you want to work in a relaxing place such as a spa. Or maybe you would like to be more involved with sports, so you could study Sports Massage.
There is a lot more I could tell you so if you have any questions just let me know.
