You're talking about ordinary health care massage therapist. Because health massage has a set of manipulation procedures, as long as you master the basic techniques, follow the procedures. It is generally not difficult to master. The students I have taught can skillfully do health massage in about 10 days. But the treatment of massage is different, and getting started in three or five years is relatively smart. Most people still think about health care massage therapist after more than ten years, and they can't be cured.
