Comments for Massage School Florida http://massageschoolfl.com Get certified for the state of FL Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:26:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Clark School, Holiday Florida by Patty http://massageschoolfl.com/comment-page-1/#comment-2324 Patty Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:26:40 +0000 http://massageschoolfl.com//?page_id=2#comment-2324 I would like some information in regards to cost for the full massage therapy coarse. Does the $3,900 include the massage classes or just the class room. I looked into schools elsewhere and they charge $3,000 tuition, $400 books $25.00 registration and then depending and what massage class you want to attend there is an addition cost from $100 to $250 and most expensive is $525.00. The coarse is part time for 50 weeks and the total cost can be $5220.00 to $6500.00. I am in Michigan now but my plan is to become a licensed massage therapist and work in a Florida. I have a relative that lives in Holiday and I can live with them if I plan on attending a school in Florida. I would like some information in regards to cost for the full massage therapy coarse.

It will serve you no additional marketability if you become a PTA, then go on to become a PT. You will have been schooled by the same school of thought. PTs often think they are schooled well enough to offer massage. Some are, but the fact is the majority typically are not. If you truly want to offer your patients a well-rounded approach to manual therapy, then you would benefit by being taught by different approaches to bodywork. MT schooling will get you started with understanding the body and how to comfortably work with people. The PT schooling will then solidify your understanding of anatomy, physiology, manual therapy, injury recovery and re-training. Having a MT license and a PT license will set you apart from the rest of the pack. Go to massage therapy school first if your overall goal is to eventually become a PT.

I think the only area that these two careers are very close is the medical massage career track. What kind of career are looking for? That would be the question I would ask myself.

The level of anatomy offered at most MT schools is substandard to the gross human anatomy required by PT programs. PTs are hardly using massage anymore, and any techniques you really need to know as a PT take only a few hours to learn. Most employers would not consider having your MT and PT to be of any further asset. Becoming an assistant isn't worth the effort either. It would take you two years to get the degree and then you would find out that you have to start all over again to become a PT. Becoming an aide is possible, as it requires no formal experience. But it is not necessary to become an aide prior to becoming a PT. It's a good experience, but it pays very little. If you are serious about becoming a PT, I would start completing your prerequisites first. If you are in need of cash while you go to school, I would actually consider being a personal trainer. You'll learn more about exercise physiology and the time required to become a personal trainer is relatively little as compared to the MT (ie, you can start earning cash sooner). The start up costs for becoming a personal trainer can be significantly less than that of an MT.

Health insurance will pay for PT more readily than for massage. I'm a massage therapist, work for a chiropractor and the health insurance companies give a hard time about paying for massage, even though it's a listed benefit. I make good money as an LMT, but I only get part time hours because of the payment struggles. The PT I work with gets full time hours, he does massage as well. So he has double the skills. Go for the massage training AFTER the PT training. I would go for the PTA first, there are more job opportunities for PT than for massage.

Having this skill before going into school for Physical therapy can help you pay your way through school. Also, Physical Therapists who have training in massage therapy, get paid better and it is easier to get a job because prospective employeers would be getting two skills for the price of one.
