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.
