Follow @massagemastersschool →Our 500-hour Licensed Massage Therapist program is designed to take you from beginner to fully licensed in approximately 9 months on a part-time schedule. You'll graduate prepared to pass both the MBLEx national exam and the Texas Massage Therapy Exam, and apply for your Texas LMT license through TDLR.
About half of the program is hands-on massage training — including a real internship at our on-site school clinic. The other half covers the classroom knowledge you need to pass your licensing exam.
Our curriculum covers every subject required by TDLR for Texas massage therapy licensure.
Study the human body — muscles, bones, joints, and organ systems — to build a foundation for safe and effective massage therapy.
Understand how body systems function and how massage therapy affects circulation, the nervous system, and overall wellness.
Learn how the body moves, how muscles work together, and how to address movement restrictions and postural imbalances.
Study diseases, conditions, and contraindications so you can practice safely and know when massage is or isn't appropriate.
Learn water-based therapy techniques including hot and cold applications used to complement massage treatments.
Maintain professional standards for sanitation, client safety, and personal health practices required by Texas licensing.
Learn professional conduct, client communication, Texas massage therapy laws, and the business skills to build your own practice.
Master Swedish massage, deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and other core techniques through extensive hands-on practice.
We know most of our students are working adults or managing family responsibilities. That's why we offer both day and evening class options so you can earn your license without putting everything else on hold.
