Infringements with the law are considered on an individual basis and the best way to find out is to contact the school where you plan on getting your training or the local or state governing agency responsible for Massage Therapy licensing. This, in most instances, will be the state licensing board for massage therapy.

How to Choose the Best Massage Schools?

Holistic approaches to medicine have seen a surge in popularity over the past few years. Massage therapy has been used for centuries in the Far East, but has not caught on in the West until the last couple decades. What used to be considered a luxury for relaxation has now become rooted in medicinal benefits as much as recreational ones. The explosive popularity of massage therapy has created an equally high demand for quality massage schools. Choosing the best massage school largely depends upon the goals of the person seeking to learn. People seeking out massage schools should answer several questions in order to determine which schools best suit their individual needs. Career or Hobby People that are wanting to pursue a career in massage therapy will have vastly different needs than those that are simply looking at massage as a therapy. Those that want to take massage as a hobby do not have to worry about certification exams, approved licensing, or any of the other myriad of issues that people pursuing a career in massage must concern themselves with. Simply taking classes in a local community college, or even through a community center, is usually enough to train someone enough for a hobby level interest. Far more training into anatomy, massage technique, medicine, and other physical sciences are required for the licenses and state certification required to become a professional massage therapist. Schedule Arranging classes around family, existing careers, and other obligations can affect which massage school is best. For people that are working full time jobs during the day, night classes are required. A stay at home mother, on the other hand, may be able to fit classes in during the day. Making sure that the school schedule is flexible is essential in choosing the right school. Certification and Licensing The best massage schools will prepare the student for the various certifications and licensing exams that most states require. Certification and licensing are crucial for employment and the more focus a school places on passing them the more valuable the school becomes. Peer Review One should always take the time to check out reviews of any school’s program in order to make sure that there are no major complaints against the staff or the massage school itself. Checking for accreditation, as well as the school’s average pass rate for state exams, is also recommended. This can provide valuable insight about the school and their program offerings from both a students perspective and a statistical standpoint.

Why is hormonal implants contraindicated to massage?

Hormonal implants are contraindicated for massage due to the potential for hormonal fluctuations that may affect blood circulation and tissue sensitivity. Massage can increase circulation and may inadvertently stimulate hormonal release, potentially leading to side effects such as dizziness or changes in mood. Additionally, if the implant site is still healing, massage could cause discomfort or disrupt the implantation area. Therefore, it's essential for individuals with hormonal implants to consult their healthcare provider before receiving massage therapy.

What is the effect of massage on the nervous system?

There is some controversy on this topic between the medical community and the massage practitioners. There is no empirical data that the flow of blood changes after a massage, but no studies have been conducted about the flow of blood during a massage. From a practical point of view, mechanical manipulation of tissue will affect the venous blood flow during circulatory massage, as in Swedish massage. This can actually be seen and felt during the therapy. The effects on the cardiovascular system has been generally agreed upon to be significant enough that clearance from a doctor is necessary under certain circumstances. The list is a long one and includes; hypertension, varicose veins, mitral valve prolapse, pacemakers, stents, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, angina, Aortic aneurysm etc.
