What are the health benefits of massage and how does one go about being a massage therapist part time? How come massage feels very good and wonderful? How often should a person get massage and can massage therapy be used for christians? this is something I am very interested in.

the health benefits of massage, well there are many, a good sense of well being, helps to detox your body of the toxins in it. helps relieve muscle pain, helps you relax. A massage therapist can even guide you to someone who can help you if what is wrong or seems to be wrong is out of their range of practice. Depends really on what or if there are any medical conditions with the person to what will benefit them or hurt them.
To be a massage therapist you have to go to school. each state has different credentials and how many hours you have to have. I know in Virginia when I went to school it was 500 hrs. I hear of them trying to make it more but I don't think it has happened yet. like I said each state is different. Once you've graduated then you have to sit for a national certification exam, if you pass that then you have a certificate to practice in your state, or license. You have to keep up with your license by taking extra classes to keep you up to date on the latest healing modalities and get your CEU credits. If you plan on renewing once your license has expired, which in Va is 4 yrs.
Massage feels good and wonderful firt because you had a good massage therapist. It is a loving caring touch that is non-sexual and judging. We massage therapists in general don't judge people, as we know they are allowing themselves to be volnerable to us and it generaly isn't our culture to do that. So I personaly respect that.
I reccomend people to get a massage at least once a month. I have clients who do and they really see a difference in how they handle every day stresses and how they feel in general.
Massage therapy can be used for every walk of life, weather your a christian, a budist, athiest or a horse. If your able to be touched, massage can help.
If you interested in becoming a massage therapist, not massuse, or masseur, we don't like those words, you can check out websites like abmp.com and they will help give you school names in your area and more info on what to expect.

That's a lot of questions. I have a theory about massage. When parts of the body are touched, it sends a signal to the brain that stimulates the nervous system to unblock the energy that sometimes gets stuck. It also helps increase circulation of the lymphatic system and digestive tract. It moves energy through the spine which unblocks the communication channels to the brain. It activates acupressure points in the feet, hands, and ears. It increases blood flow to the muscles and relaxes the whole body. Did I leave anything out? Being a christian shouldn't be a problem. You choose who will receive the massage and you set the tone for the massage. Personally I would like a massage at least once a week, but that isn't easy to do. When I was in massage school we practice on each other once a week. It was a real treat. Not everyone is good at massage. Some press too hard, some miss spots and some have the wrong attitude. Find out why you want to help heal others, and proceed from there.

Massages relax. I love to get reflexology treatments. I'm a christian and massaging doesn't bother me or the Christ that is within me. We both seem to enjoy it. To hell with anyone who doesn't believe it it.
