When I was a kid, my dad, when he’s exhausted from work, asks me to give him a foot and back massage. I hate the menthol oil he makes me use and kept wondering why he loves getting a massage. Then my friend gave me a gift certificate for a Shiatsu Massage at The Spa as a birthday present.

I love the massage, especially the back massage! I loved it so much that I interviewed the masseuse after my session and asked where I can learn how to do proper massage like her. She said that their company provides massage therapy lessons but they also enrolled their employees in a massage therapy school abroad to improve their massage therapy and healing techniques. However, the massage lessons that they offer were only for those associated with them in the massage business.

She did console me with the fact that there are a lot of massage therapy schools. Still, I ought to be careful in selecting one, should do in-depth research, and make sure that the school offers massage therapy certification. After all, completion of the massage course can lend credibility to my name, should I decide to do it full-time of course.
