Texas Massage Schools Step Out of the Stone Age
Texas’ state massage law changed from requiring 300 hours of classroom and clinical training to requiring 500 hours to become licensed as a professional therapist. For many years, all states with massage laws (35), except for Texas, have required a minimum of 500 hours.
Beginning November 1, Lauterstein-Conway will first offer a newly refined 500-Hour Program in line with the new law. It features internships in all the major modalities - Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Clinical Massage.
John Conway says, “The new State Law allows us to build on our previous trainings by providing clinical internships that assure every graduate an even higher level of skill in business planning, massage and bodywork.”
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary for massage therapists in 2006 was $39,380. Employment opportunities are continuing to grow as the demand for skilled therapists is steadily increasing.
