- Perhaps the best way to start finding a school is as follows:
- 1) what styles of massage do you feel simpatico with.
- If the answer is "duhh what?" then its easier, you
- can start anywhere ...
-
- Let me categorize these for you on a separate listing.
-
- 2) Call up massage practitioners in your area -you can find
- reputable ones under the yellow pages -usually advertizing
- as certified or liscensed. Ask them wehre they took their training.
-
- If they claim to teach, go get a massage from them and
- see if what they have to offer is what you want to learn.
-
- 3) Check into new-age book stores and coffe shops -look at the
- local bulletin board for equally reputable people who
- dont particularly advertise in the yellow pages.
-
- Same scenario as a bove.
-
- 4) Check with your martial arts freinds -most dojos also
- have a great massage person that they reccomnmend
-
- 5) Check with local chiropractors -same same.
-
- IE there are many ways to find out what you want to know, once you
- put yourself into that mindset.
-
- Enjoy ...
