Return To Massage Article Archive   Oregon Massage Therapy Schools By Michael Bustamante Oregon massage therapy schools will often cover both Eastern and Western styles of massage. Eastern forms of massage focus on overall wellbeing of the body, mind, and spirit, while Western massage concentrates on healing injuries and recovery from illness. Western instruction might include therapeutic Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, hydrotherapy, reflexology, and sports massage; Eastern instruction could include shiatsu, Reiki, and Thai, among other forms of massage. Individual Oregon massage therapy schools may also offer advanced programs for specialization in types of massage therapy, such as pain management, lymph massage, geriatric massage, and many others. All quality massage therapy schools should offer a sound knowledge of several basic sciences (chemistry, anatomy, physiology, pathology, kinesiology) and extensive practical experience in numerous therapeutic massage techniques. Massage students may also study psychology and communications for enhancing client/therapist relations, as well as courses that prepare future massage therapists for management and operation of a private massage practice. Graduates of Oregon massage therapy schools may confidently apply for positions as massage therapists in hospitals and nursing homes; rehabilitative therapy clinics; sports, orthopedic, and chiropractic offices; or in resorts and spas. Do keep in mind, however, that the state of Oregon requires practicing massage therapists to pass both the state and NCETMB exams and possess a current license.
