Hello,
Trying to navigate the state web site for massage. L I can't seem to find a renewal appl. and it appears they have yet to decide what CEU's are necessary. Looks like proof of establishment is also required. I am not working yet.
thanks in advance
robin

The MA Massage Board snuck in a meeting on 9/24. It does not list on their calendar. How do you like that?

Thanks Alexei. Saved me from looking it up and saved us both a trip.

Just wondering if there are any outstanding anatomy and physiology teachers out there who might be interested in teaching this winter in Acton. If so please call me at 413-529-2900.
Thanks!
Alexei

@sam: Good question about your education. Even though different schools claim that they teach the same thing as everyone else, that's like saying a VW and BMW are the same thing because they each have 4 wheels, brakes and an engine.

As far as knowing if you are going to the right school for you, the answer depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Most people don't understand that where they go to school plays a major role in the rest of their career. It's up to you to decide if location, price or quality/content/reputation are the most important motivators for your needs. I recommend talking to recent graduates and employers to find out which schools are doing the best job of preparing people to succeed.

As far as the meeting goes, there were many more schools at this meeting than ever before which was good to see. I suspect it was because their graduates are having problems getting licensed. However, I don't think most of the schools got what they came for other than to find out that it's up to them to comply with the standards.

I can't comment on the other schools but I can tell you that Spa Tech has been deeply involved for years because we know the importance of being in compliance. I find that there are schools that represent their program meets the standards but if you look at what they say you will learn, it actually is deficient in several areas. I can tell you that the the schools that have consistenly been at the meetings are Spa Tech, Bancroft, Cortiva and The Massage School.

Good luck with yoru career. I hope you have great success.

Calling all graduates of The Massage School and other great Therapists! Mary at Peoples Massage in East Longmeadow is looking to hire a few great Massage Therapists. Here's what she told me-"any interested therapists call peoples 525-5960 to set up an interview. We are looking for mondays 12:30-4. fridays 3-9 and sundays 10-4. We are hoping to be back up to full staff by the end of september." They are great people to work for! You must be able to work deeply without hurting yourself or the client.
