Campus Life at a Massage School

The campus life at a massage school will most likely be different from the experience you would get at a traditional four-year college campus. The students at massage therapy schools are dedicated to learning the skills necessary to work in this exciting and rewarding field of healing and alternative medicine. The ages of the students range from recent high school or college graduates to older individuals who have decided to change careers later in life. Much of the work is done off-campus, and classes look different than they do at your traditional institution of higher learning.

Students all over the country are experiencing campus life at a massage therapy school right now since there are massage therapy classes and programs in major cities as well as smaller towns across the nation. If you are considering attending one of these schools, you will want to make sure it is recognized by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. Because you must complete your schooling and put in hundreds of hours of practice before taking the required exams for most states, you want to make sure your campus experience is not only enlightening but that the school is accredited. The National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork and National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage are the two most common exams. At the end of your campus experience you will most likely take one of these.

Your campus life at a massage school will include numerous classes as well as field experience. You and your fellow students will learn about anatomy, body systems, kinesiology, pathology and physiology. You will also learn all the most common therapeutic massage assessment methods and their application. Students also often learn about professional business practices, ethics, legal practices and standards. After completing this education, finishing at least 500 hours of massage practice and passing any examinations that are required in your state, you will be ready to use your campus experience in the professional world as a real massage therapist.

If you think the campus experience at a massage school might be right for you, there are many schools to choose from.

Institutions offering quality Massage Therapy Programs include American Institute – Cortiva Institute, Apollo College, Kaplan College, Keiser University, Utah College of Massage Therapy and Western Career College.

how to become a test subject for massage schools?

I am interested in volunteering for a massage school to be a test subject/practice dummy etc.
how would I go about doing this?

Unfortunately for you, this is just a dream. Most schools do not have “volunteer test subjects” and the only case I could think of would be if you had a serious medical condition and they wanted to show their students how to work on that type. If that is the case you could try calling individual schools and asking. If not, almost every school has a student clinic which is very inexpensive (usually $25-$45 an hour).

Description

This teaching video is designed for those who desire to learn and cultivate their ability to offer loving and skilled touch. Ellen Watson, founder of the MovingVentures School and long time Esalen® Massage practitioner, teaches the basics of Essential Touch, a style known for its long, integrating strokes and for eliciting the relaxation response, which supports the body/minds’ natural ability to self-heal. Through this practice, I support clients and students in deepening their capacity to experience pleasure. Essential Touch is about being breathed by the Big Breath, about union with ones’ self and ones’ Creator, about creating exquisite moments of unity where healing happens. During this 2 hour and 20 minute session, we will spend 80 minutes working on the back side of the body, and 60 minutes working on the front side of the body. You can practice along with me in the privacy of your home. I recommend that you practice often with people you love and who will give you accurate and valuable feedback. With proper instruction and practice, you can soon be giving a loving and skilled session in Essential Touch. Learning to give and receive Essential Touch will serve you and those close to you the rest of your life.

Features

  • Cultivate loving and skilled touch
  • Learn to elict relaxation response
  • Support body/mind’s ability to self-heal
