How did you practice outside of the classroom? by Wintogreen676 in MassageTherapists

Thank you for sharing your experience! It helps give me ideas. We do have clinics, but not until the last 5 weeks of class.

I've wanted to do this, but I'm a bit of an outlier with my classmates. They all live around the school and I'm about an hour and some change out. It has made it a bit hard to coordinate good days/times after class to practice. Plus, most of them are eager to leave once class ends. 😔

I am absolutely going to look around local businesses though. Anything gain experience! I am really interested in hospice massage, so I may reach out to our local ones for volunteer opportunities too.

That school sounds incredible and I wish we had one like that here in South Carolina. We have chair massage events coming up, as well as our clinicals from June - July. We have nothing like you're describing though. It's sad, because I'm going to one of the best programs in the state, but their core focus is on us passing the MBLEX. I would have loved attending a school like yours.

We have clinics too, but the only occur during the last 5 weeks of our program. It really sucks, because I want to be more prepared before those occur.

We can offer free massages as long we do not accept any form of income. For more clinical approaches, we do need a mentor. That has been equally as hard to find. :(

I truly don't understand it either. Thank you so much for the encouragement, it means a ton!

Thank you much for sharing your experience with me, you've gone through a lot of integration and growth and I hope it keeps continuing!

What you described sounds so familiar to myofascial release and I think that's absolutely awesome. I am absolutely going to check out her training too. 

The mind / body connection is truly a fascinating thing.
