Which education should I choose?

Working with people and helping others is a fantastic and rewarding career path. Massage and muscle therapy are just some of the many ways you can make a positive difference and experience the joy of helping. But before you get started, it’s important to consider how you want to help others and what needs you want to focus on.

How do you want to help?

The human body is complex and fascinating, making it important to choose the right training. Do you want to focus on relaxing treatments that are great for clients suffering from stress? Or do you want to help with muscular issues, such as:

  • Sports injuries
  • Tension from poor posture
  • Other physical challenges

If you want to work with muscular issues, it’s crucial to have a solid understanding of body anatomy, muscles and their connections. The body works as a whole and problems in one place can affect other parts. Therefore, this type of treatment requires both theoretical and practical knowledge.

What requirements does your training need to meet?

If you want to make massage your main occupation, there are some important things to consider:

  • VAT exemption: As a massage therapist, you can get VAT exemption on your treatments, which makes a big difference financially.
  • RAB certification: Only Registered Alternative Practitioners (RAB) can offer treatments that are covered by health insurance.

To obtain VAT and RAB approval, a minimum of 660 hours of training is required. Very few programs meet this requirement, but our Musculupat program meets all requirements from both SKAT and RAB.

How do you get started?

Not sure where to start? If you want to be a therapist as your primary job, we recommend that you take our Musculupat® training, where you have the opportunity to become both RAB and VAT exempt, which will increase your income.

If you are unsure about where you want to go with your education, you can start by studying to become a Certified Physiurgical Masseur or Sports Masseur. These programs provide you with a strong professional foundation and the opportunity to later continue your education as a Musculupat® with credit.

  • Doctor-certified: This title ensures that your training is approved by a doctor, giving your customers peace of mind.
  • Musculupat®: A trademarked title that can only be used by those who have completed the training.
