Internet publisher Massage Therapist Training HQ specializes in supporting state-mandated training and testing requirements for individuals who are seeking a career in massage therapy. The training that the law requires covers the basics of a massage therapist’s duties, anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, bodywork modalities, and a number of other basics.

However, more than the minimum is required for success as a professional massage therapist, which is why Massage Therapist Training HQ helps therapist candidates go above and beyond the basics and reach a preparation level that assures success in their new career. For that purpose, MTTHQ has recently published articles on job search and equipment reviews.

The first articles outlining initial licensing requirements in every state, from Alabama to Wyoming have been published. In Illinois for example, as in many states around the country, a basic course is not enough to authorize the licensing of a massage therapist – there is a number of extra training and documentation requirements for anyone interested in becoming a massage therapist in the state.

These requirements include extensive specified education hours, proficiency examination, and background checks for anyone interested in becoming a licensed massage therapist in the state. To read more about the requirements and to see the other conditions for becoming a massage therapist in Illinois, read the original, detailed article on the site.

We hope these articles aid understanding the various aspects of becoming a massage therapist in specific states, and we look forward to publishing more in the coming weeks.
