Massage Board
Massage Board
I want to open a massage therapy business where should I start?
I recently graduated and became board certified in massage therapy in the state of TX. I want to open a business and I have found a great location at great price. I need to know the step I should take to oepn the business. Where should I go for permits and what type of employee numbers do I need. Thanks for all your help.
First, go to your local downtown and find some scantily clad women with strong hands…..then, tint the the windows to your “massage parlor” so nobody can see what is going on in there. Next, you’ll need a guy named Bruno to guard the door. After that, charge more for happy endings…..
Massage Board
I went to school for Massage Therapy and took the national board test and didnt pass it……?
I didnt pass the national board for massage therapy the first time. What should I do different than before? Any websites or books that have study guides?
If at first you don’t succeed…study some more and try again. By all means, but make sure you’re ready before you drop another couple hundred bucks on a re-take.
There are a number of good study guides out there. One web site I found helpful was evolve: https://evolve.elsevier.com/staticPages/s_index.html
It’s a little confusing to find it, but if you create an account (free), you can access study guides and practice tests related to the massage therapy textbooks published by evolve/elsevier. I found the practice exams really helpful.
If you haven’t already, get a hold of the NCBTMB study guide – it’s 40 bucks or so, maybe you can find a classmate or two and split the cost and share it.
Spend some time de-briefing yourself. I know you don’t get to see your results, but think about what questions you had the most difficulty with. What areas seemed to be your weakness on taking the test? Dig back into these.
Find a classmate or fellow massage practitioner who has recently passed the test. Buy him/her lunch and pick their brains about their experience with the test, and tips for passing.
Finally, don’t wait too long – it only gets harder as more time passes…
Good luck!
