MASSAGE THERAPIST TRAINING Getting certified to work as a massage therapist requires taking a course from a school
accredited by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). Training as a massage therapist typically includes classroom instruction in kinesiology, physiology, and anatomy, and hands-on experience including Swedish massage, Reiki, foot reflexology, and Shiatsu. There are over sixty massage training programs nationwide accredited and approved by AMTA's certification board. To be accredited, programs must include a minimum 500 hours of classroom instruction and be at least six months
in duration. For more information on learning to be a massage therapist, contact the following: American Massage Therapy Association
