Massage Therapy Practical Examinations


It just came to my attention that some states still require taking a practical exam to get your massage license. They used to require one here in WA but have long ago stopped requiring it. A practical exam is too subjective for the most part and often depends on the skill of the tester and also the mood that day.

The only practical exam that I think is necessary is the act of building a practice. It will tell you more about your skill level as a massage therapist than anything.

I have collected the information that was given for my practical exam in WA State back in 1987 and have posted it at www.thebodyworker.com
