relocating...
Hello everyone. Happy to have found you all on here.
There is a chance I might be relocating to NY and was wondering if anyone knew the # of hours that are required for the state? Thanks.

Education Requirement
To meet the professional education requirement for licensure, you must:
* Complete high school or its equivalent and graduate from a school or institute of massage therapy with a program registered by the New York State Education Department* as licensure qualifying, or its substantial equivalent in both subject matter or extent of training, provided that the program in such school or institute shall consist of classroom instruction with a total of not less than 1000 hours in specific subjects satisfactory to the Department.
* Complete coursework in anatomy, physiology, neurology, myology or kinesiology, pathology, hygiene, first aid, CPR, infection control procedures, the chemical ingredients of products that are used and their effects, as well as the theory, technique and practice of both oriental and western massage/bodywork therapy. Within the 1000 hours of education, you will have had to complete a minimum of 150 hours of practice on a person.
Good luck

Kelli, you can complete the kinesiology portion of hours simply by taking a community college course in kinesiology, those are the hardest hours to attain. There is a school here in Arizona called SWIHA (Southwest Institute of Healing Arts) that also has a good kinesiology course. However, it would take a few weeks to complete, Hope this helps!
