In your massage therapy courses you will be challenged and your mind will be filled with all sorts of subjects and some topics you might think are irrelevant. Your massage courses will teach the obvious things like anatomy, physiology, massage technique, pathology, massage history, philosophy, nutrition, medical ethics, assessments of clients and business studies etc. Some of your learning will be in the lecture room setting whereas a number of hours will take the form of massage clinical practice. Some massage colleges will possess supervised massage clinics for members of the public to come and be practised on. Why? Well they get a cheaper massage and like the feeling of helping the students succeed in their chosen massage career.
