I’m going to take a 700 hour massage therapy course, and I am hoping to complete it in 6-7 months being a full-time student and going to school for the maximum amount of hours per day. Is this possible? I know that a 500 hour course only takes 4 months to complete, but I’ve heard a lot of people saying that it took them over a year to complete their training. How long does it usually take?
Any input would be great!

If you live in a state that regulates massage licensing laws, the state requirements set your minimum education. Legal minimums can range from 330 to 1,000 contact hours, and programs can take from a few weeks to two years, depending on how the program is structured. For complete information on massage schools in your area, read detailed fact sheets on available massage programs and contact schools for additional information.

Almost everyone enjoys a pleasurable and relaxing massage, and learning how to perform a correct and relaxing back massage is really not all that difficult. Even if you don’t go to a massage school, you can still learn the fundamentals about giving a good massage.

Giving a massage tips.

There are some essential procedures that you can learn in order to provide a soothing and acceptable back massage, and they are:

• Get the person who is going to have the massage to lie on their front on a stable and comfortable surface, such as a massage table if you have one, and if not you can find something else that works easily enough. Be sure that which ever position the person is lying you have access and can reach across their entire back without having to stretch to much.
• Stand or kneel by their side, placing one of your hands on their lower back and the other hand up between the shoulder blades, over the heart. Then warm up their back by applying pressure with your thumbs along both sides of their spine simultaneously. You should start the back massage at the lower back and work your way up to the neck area, rather than the other way around.
• You then use a delicate stroke to apply massage oil, and you do this by using one long stroke and sliding your palms down either side of the spine to the pelvis, then scoop your hands out around their hips and back up the sides to the shoulder blades. Remember to constantly maintain contact with the back, and always glide your hands rather than remove completely when you are moving to another area.
• You should especially work on areas that feel hard or tight, as these are called knots and working these out will immediately make the person feel looser more relaxed. When doing a back massage always perform clockwise circular friction with your fingertips along the muscles that are close to the spine and around the shoulder blades, as these are usually the tensest areas. Also, remember to always rotate the arms gently, one at a time, in order to help loosen the shoulder joints and enhance blood flow.

There are so many benefits that can be obtained from having a good massage, such as relaxation, heightened body awareness, better circulation, and better lymphatic drainage for discharging of toxins. However, when you are applying a back massage, you must remember to never put any heavy pressure on the spine, and to avoid any broken skin, blisters, or areas of potential infection.
