K.C. says, "I think others should definitely know how wonderful you are and how much more you have to offer than most instructors or teachers. Having taken from many movement instructors, and as a previous Pilates and Gyrotonics instructor and dancer myself, I know how rare it is to have someone with so much experience and training be so present throughout every session and movement and be sincerely interested in my learning every step of the way."

Your massage questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much does massage therapy school cost?

Massage therapy school costs $5,000 to $10,000 on average for tuition alone, plus $500 to $4,500 for necessary books, supplies, and licensing. The total cost for the classes will depend on the school you choose, the course length, your location, and whether you qualify for any scholarships or grants.

  • Massage therapy course books cost $200 to $800.
  • Massage tables and related equipment costs $200 to $3,000.
  • Licensing fees cost $100 to $700, depending on your state.

What is massage therapy school?

Massage therapy is the act of promoting relaxation and reducing pain by manually manipulating the muscles, tissues, ligaments, and tendons in a person's body. Massage therapy school is where a student learns and practices the skills necessary to become a licensed massage therapist. Some schools offer special courses for a certain type of massage therapy like sports massage, oncology massage, or hydrotherapy.

What are the requirements for massage therapy schools?

To get into most massage therapy schools, each applicant will need to have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent at the minimum. Some schools also have age restrictions to protect students because massage therapists are often alone with clients.

Can you get a degree from a massage therapy school?

Massage therapy schools offer a practical, direct pathway to state licensing instead of a degree. This helps students enter the career field or start a business quickly instead of spending 2 to 4 years studying for a degree.

How can I choose a massage therapy school?

You can find a good massage therapy course by following these steps:

  • Choose an accredited school if you’re seeking licensure.
  • Ask how much experience the instructors have.
  • Read past reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Compare 3+ tuitions and fees from different schools.
  • Ask friends, family, or local massage therapists for recommendations.
  • Make sure you enroll before their deadline.
  • Ask what financial aid options or payment plans they offer.

What questions should I ask massage therapy instuctors?

Ask instructors these questions to get the most out of your massage therapy class experience:

  • How much experience do you have?
  • What equipment would I need to buy for this course?
  • Could I see a list of books and supplies I’d need?
  • What financial aid or scholarships do you have available?
  • What are your prerequisites for enrollment?
  • When is the enrollment deadline?
  • Could you help me choose classes that fit my schedule?
  • How long will this course take? Are there any part-time or accelerated options?

The way Preeti explains the steps is so easy to pick up. I wanted to learn a routine for my brother's wedding. I tried two other teachers before Preeti. She is the best!!!!

Ever since I began my Alexander training with Cate, I trust my body more and am overall more relaxed and more present. I feel like a new chapter is unfolding. I'm finally able to begin unravelling the tension in my body. I just love it and am so thankful I found her. I'm in such a good place now. Compared to when I first found Cate, I feel like a totally different person. And my shoulder is healed thanks to her.

I had struggles with my weight over the past few years, tried everything and when I started working with Ken I realized many things I did was incorrect. Ken’s workouts are very intense and I worked with him three days a week, lots of running an explosive workouts. I lost 12lb in the first three weeks, and within the last six month I dropped to 230lb to 195lb. His workouts are very detailed and he is very knowledgeable with the nutrition aspect as well. I definitely recommend Ken to anyone that wants to lose weight in a short amount of time
