How to become a massage therapist at USA?

I'm from Singapore %26amp; currently working as a part time sports masseuse %26amp; sports trainer with my local sports council. Was thinking of working at USA as a sports masseuse %26amp; wonder how does 1 go about in doing it.How to become a massage therapist at USA?
You have to find out what is required in the state that you want to practice in. Each state is different but basically you have to go to massage school and get a certain number of hours of classes which is usually between 500-1000 hours of training. There are actually a few states that don't have any licensing requirements at this time. (Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming and a few others) Some states might let you use some of your current training but you will have to check.





Most massage therapist here start their own business. You can work with athletes, professional sports teams and high school/college teams.How to become a massage therapist at USA?
Unfortunately, every state has different requirements. We do not have a national certification that you can use from state to state. You would have to decide where you want to practice and find out what the requirements are in that state.





You would submit your school transcript to the massage board. The board would decide if your education meets their requirements. If it did, you would have to take the state written exam. Some require a practical exam. Some states do accept licenses from other states, but you still have to apply for licenses in each state wherever you go.
