Chair Massage Schools

Chair massage is a specialized form of massage that is also known as seated massage and is commonly performed by mobile massage practitioners who travel to their client’s home or office. This is also the type of massage that many people encounter at malls and festivals around the country, and is a popular modality available in spas, resorts and wellness centers. Chair massage is based on acupressure techniques and focuses primarily on the back, shoulders and neck. Chair massage practitioners use a specially designed massage chair that is portable and allows them to provide mobile services with ease.

Online colleges offering programs for Chair Massage

Many massage therapy practitioners learn chair massage in short courses intended for continuing education after initial licensure, while others enroll in chair massage schools to obtain their massage therapy certification and licensure. Licensure and certification requirements vary by state, with most states requiring at least 500 hours of training and education at an approved massage therapy school and successful completion of a licensing examination. Prospective chair massage practitioners should contact the state or local jurisdiction in which they intend to practice to confirm the requirements for that area.
