Hours Needed To Be A Massage Therapist?

by Mike Hinkle

Feb 11, 2011

Ok, the debate is out there so if members of this group could respond in a quick poll, it would help.

 

1. How long have you been a therapist?

2. How many hours should you have to go to massage school before testing for work on the public and charging for the service (licensure, certification or registration)?

 

That's all.

Thanks,

Mike

    I Graduated in feb 2009, with 1000 hrs training, but the province might be upping the regulations to 2200hrs.
    Ive been working as an RMT for about 16 months?

    1. Still waiting on my license to come in. Been working on friends & family since I was a kid...it just took me a long time before I finally decided to go to school for it.

    2. 750 hours required with minimum of 30 hands on in clinic/internship (I did as many hours as possible, the clinic supervisor actually had to throw me out so the other students could have a chance to work) and I feel like it really wasn't enough on both ends...there is so much to learn for just the basics. I managed a GPA of 4.0 & a high MBLex score and Great client evals but I still feel like I'm not ready.
