Holistic Careers in Massage Therapy,
Polarity Therapy and Holistic Aesthetics

The field of Holistic Careers in massage therapy, polarity therapy, holistic skin care and aesthetics spa treatments is growing rapidly with new spas and health centers opening continually. Additionally many insurance companies and hospitals are also recognizing the value of prevention through massage and polarity therapy as a way of containing costs. Currently less than 15% of the population receives regular massage sessions so the potential for growth is huge. As the field of holistic and alternative health through massage therapy, polarity therapy and holistic aesthetics or spa skin care treatments gains more exposure and health care costs rise, the need for  massage therapists will rise accordingly.

Holistic Massage Definition

Holistic Massage Therapy is massage therapy performed on a holographic model. This is a complex process that requires a deep understanding of working with energy on all levels. Unfortunately, the term Holistic Massage Therapy is frequently misused by massage therapists as a marketing term with inadequate knowledge or regard of how to work with energy in a holographic model.

The process of true Holistic Massage Therapy can best be understood in the area of HumanHaptics, a term coined by Nancy Risley, Founder of RYSE and PRI Educational Development Company. The term HumanHaptics embodies the power of understanding the deeper meaning of structured touch and structured intention. HumanHaptics is the intersection of these two concepts. Add to this the power of Polarity Therapy and you have a truly Holistic paradigm of massage therapy.

Therapeutic Massage Definition

Therapeutic Massage is associated more with medical or clinical settings, sports massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point and other clinical types of massage. The term, like Holistic Massage is vague but is intended to differentiate from massage that is done for relaxation. The reality is that all massage is therapeutic in some capacity if it relieves stress or increases a feeling of well being.

Consumer Warning - Quality of Education

Recently many career schools and technical colleges have added massage therapy programs to take advantage of the growing demand for massage therapists. Unfortunately these programs are often poorly designed, taught by inexperienced teachers and do not produce successful graduates. The primary intention is to make money for the school, not for the success of the student. These schools have large marketing budgets and aggressive admissions departments. As a consumer you need to carefully evaluate massage schools before you attend to make sure the quality of their education is in line with your goals for success..

Massage School Listings

The following list of schools are provided as a resource. There are many schools that teach massage and related holistic modalities. However, it is up to you to research the educational programs to find out if they are truly offering what you are looking for. As a consumer it is important to remember that school quality and curriculum have a wide variation and that your success starts with the quality of your education.

A good starting point is to ask spa, salon and clinic owners which massage therapy schools they have had the most success hiring graduates from and where they would recommend where you go to school. By making these inquiries you will set the stage for being hired when you graduate.

Because Spa Tech has a highly trained base of teachers that understand energy as well as massage, the training is superior in every aspect. The energy awareness in the teaching process creates accelerated learning and a deeper understanding than is possible with a traditional, non-energy based educational model. To confirm this for yourself you are encouraged to visit the school clinic for a session and discover the power of HumanHaptics in the healing process.
