The next milestone is 500 hours of training. This is the ART of MASSAGE. The massage therapist will learn more about muscles and how to blend relaxing massage strokes with effective deep tissue work to get the knots out of your back.

Art and Science of Massage
A massage therapist with 1000 hours of training is very dedicated to their profession and is a specialist. This is the ART and SCIENCE of massage therapy. The therapist will have completed over two years of training and knows the finer points of massage therapy.

Your first appointment
Massage therapy is like fine dining. You have the choice of dining at a local café if you’re on a budget or you can try fine dining. A massage appointment can be one hour or an hour & half.

If you want a massage to feel great and be relaxed, then a therapist with 300 to 500 of training would best fit your needs. If you have a lot of body tension or your body feels all twisted and out place, then you’ll probably want to work with someone that has over 300 of training. If you are an athlete or workout, you probably want someone with 500 hours or more.

Before booking your appointment, tell the therapist what kind of massage you are looking for. If the massage therapist is too busy to talk to you on the phone or seems a little cold, then call someone else. By the time you finish talking with the massage therapist you should already have rapport or some kind of comfortabilty with the therapist.
