Massage Therapy Training: Skills and Specializations

Question
I am a student that is doin a project on this job. I would like to know what type of trainning is need for this job.  

Answer
Greetings Clarence-Training involves learning Anatomy and Physiology, (Anatomy is what it is)  (Physiology is what it does).  Learning the various techniques of the massage type which you shall be specialising in.  The swedish system is virtually the oldest known accepted type of massage but for elite athletes it is virtually useless.  If you want proof about that statement-look at all the Rugby players, Soccer players etc with muscular injuries.  Most of these people receive Swedish massage.  There is the business aspect of massage also.  Keeping a diary of appointments-keeping a stock of Oil-we would never recommend Oil for massage.  Oil is liquified fat.  The same thing which the fast food chains cook dead fish in.  You are rubbing liquified fat all over your client.  We only use a water soluble skin moisturiser made specifically for massage.  Please feel free to contact me again for more specific information.  I am very happy to help you if I am able to.  Cheers
