Let’s be real — massage therapy is an incredible career path, but so many people never even explore it because of a few common massage school myths that are totally outdated.
At Texas Massage Academy, we hear these myths all the time — and we’re here to set the record straight. 💆♀️✨
💬 Myth #1: You have to be super strong to be a massage therapist
Busted: Nope! It’s about technique, not strength.
We teach students how to use proper body mechanics, tools, and positioning to protect their own bodies while giving effective treatments — whether it’s deep tissue or relaxation massage.
💡 Pro Tip: Even petite therapists can do amazing deep tissue work without straining themselves.
💰 Myth #2: Massage school is too expensive
Busted: Not here.
Our tuition starts at just $2,500 with pay-as-you-go options — and no big loans or financial aid debt. Plus, the investment pays off fast. Many students begin working in as little as 6–10 months.
📣 And don’t forget: We give you a book and supply list to help you find the most affordable materials, saving even more.
🧖♀️ Myth #3: Massage therapy is just “spa stuff”
Busted: Massage therapy is healthcare.
Our students learn how to work with pain management, stress relief, muscle recovery, injury prevention, and more. Yes, spa work is an option — but you can also work in sports clinics, rehab centers, chiropractic offices, and even start your own business.
💪 At Texas Massage Academy, we train you in clinical techniques, trigger point therapy, deep tissue, prenatal, and more.
📚 Myth #4: You can’t really learn massage online
Busted: With the right support, you absolutely can.
Our hybrid program is designed to give students the best of both worlds — flexible, interactive online learning paired with hands-on in-person training.
✅ Plus, with a dedicated phone line for student support, you can call, text, or message your instructors 24/7 (when they’re awake, of course 😉).
🎓 Myth #5: Massage isn’t a “real” career
Busted: It’s a growing, licensed profession with real earning potential.
Massage therapists are in demand across the country — and Texas requires licensing, which means trained, skilled professionals are more valuable than ever.
💼 Many of our grads go on to work in spas, open their own studios, travel with sports teams, or even teach massage themselves. Yes, it’s very real — and very rewarding.
