Massage Training in Houston

Associate Massage Therapy Program (AMTP)

With massage training in Houston, you can become a licensed massage therapist in as little as 8 months. The Houston School of Massage offers quality professional massage training that combines mastering the power of touch and learning sound business practices, which allow our graduates to succeed in the marketplace. Our massage therapy school enjoys the opportunity to provide the exceptional sort of instruction which can only be achieved by means of having skilled, experienced, and outstanding instructors that love to teach and make the learning experience fun.

The Associate Massage Therapy Program is built around 500 hours of comprehensive training covering massage techniques, human anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathology, health and hygiene, hydrotherapy, business practices, and a hands-on internship. Every subject in the curriculum connects directly to what you will do in practice — so that by the time you complete the program, you are not just prepared to pass the licensing exam, you are prepared to work with real clients on day one.

Texas requires licensure through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and the AMTP is fully approved to prepare you for that path. After completing the program, graduates sit for the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Exam (MBLEx) and apply for their Texas Massage Therapist license through TDLR. Whether you want to build your own private practice, join an established spa or wellness center, or work alongside chiropractors and other health professionals, your license from HSM opens those doors.
