Everything you need to know about becoming a massage therapist?

Becoming a massage therapist takes a lot of work and memorization. I am currently in school to become one. Some of the classes you take are:
Anatomy and Physiology: except to memorize every bone and muscle, and how they work.
Massage Theory and Techniques: hands-on practice
Advanced Theory and Techniques: practicing some of the more advanced techniques such as joint play.
Pathology: diseases, stages of them, and how the body works to get better.
etc. etc.
Many think Massage Therapy is an easy class, but the opposite is true. To become a massage therapist you will work hard and study hard. If you miss the most stressed muscle, you get a smaller tip.

Do you have to be nude during a Swedish massage?
NO. You are expected to LEAVE ON YOUR UNDERWEAR (as in underpants) when you receive a massage.

Swedish massage is primarily for relaxation but that does not mean you aren't being worked on by a professional therapist.
