I went for an interview for a massage position 2 months ago. To get a massage job, one has to massage the owner. He is rude, disrespectful, wants all his massage therapists to mimic the way he teaches, ex: 3 strokes this way, 3 strokes that way. He is EXTREMELY OCD, Disappointing teaching methods: watching his video, mimic massaging right out of the film , THEN Not LEARN Anatomy and Physiology.and the affects on the body from massage first. EX: a client has had Cancer and/or surgery/ radiation treatments,. I will not take a chance on my license and hurt someone. I want to be trained properly in that modality. Go on AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) for mote information on training and on the professionalism the standards a massage therapist must uphold. Knowing massage therapy for over 10 years +, An AMTA member for 10+, is not a lousy therapist but a trained in bodywork. Do not go there unless you want this school s sub-standard philosophy on training.
