Learning about your state's massage therapy licensing requirements is a good first step to becoming a massage therapist—even before choosing a school. You'll want to have a good grasp on your state's standards for practice so that you can make sure that your massage therapy education will adequately prepare you to become a professional in the field.

State licensing requirements for massage therapists may be more stringent than they are at the national level. So when choosing a massage therapy program, be sure that it meets your state's licensing requirements as well as those for the national certification exam.
