[blparent] looking for an advise about massage training school

[Pickrell, Rebecca M.]

I have a friend who is a massage therapist, and another is a
chyropractor. 
As for whether or not massage therapy is a good career for a blind
person, I'd ask this another way. 
Do you like to touch people, people who may or may not be pleasant to
touch, or to be around? 
Do you like and do you have the apptitude to learn muscle names,
tendons, legaments, bones and know how and why they work or do not work
together? 
Are you prepared to take continuing education in this field? 
Are you prepared and able to work evenings and weekends, because you
have to work when your clients are willing and able to come see you. 
Speaking for myself, my anser is no to all my questions, hence why I
don't work in this field. 
If yours is yes, then you may do just fine. 
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Hi all,

I'm sending this  question to other mail lists  as well,  sorry for any
inconvinience.

My name is Tatyana, I live in Gaithersburg, Maryland and I'm looking for
a place to study and  getting job.
My last thought was about massage therapy training, so  can  anyone
recommend a good massage school in  my area, Montgomery county  MD or
Washington DC in reasonable distance from Gaithersburg MD?  I  have
found Potomac massage training institute so far which in Washington DC
offering 600 hours program, did anyone studied there?

I'm going to come there this Friday for open house but any way, I wonder

if massage therapy is  aright choice for me in general,     how
challenging 
is studying  in a massage school for blind person, what  a specific is.

If anyone studied in a massage school or working as a massage therapist,
please give me an advise or any comments. You can e- mail me on
tagrig at verizon.net

Thank you all.
Tatyana.
