To become a massage therapist in Nebraska, candidates must graduate from a Nebraska massage school or state-recognized institute and become licensed by the state. Nebraska is one of at least 30 states that require massage therapists to be licensed. Good candidates for the growing career field tend to be personable individuals who excel at building and maintaining relationships.

Many bodywork professionals report that they do little advertising because their business is generated by word-of-mouth referrals. Massage therapists must enroll in a state-approved Nebraska massage school and earn at least 1,000 hours, while most other states require 500 hours. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) requires 300 hours in clinical practice and 100 hours of training in practical demonstration, massage, pathology, management, anatomy and physiology

Massage Therapy Continuing Education in Nebraska

Nebraska and other states require continuing education and re-certification for massage therapists and bodywork professionals. Most training programs offer continuing education programs in accordance with their own accreditation standards and state requirements. The NCTMB credentials must renewed every four years in conjunction with 200 hours of therapeutic massage.

Through campus based and online programs, aspiring Massage Therapists in Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue and Grand Island, Nebraska may be able to prepare themselves for the possibility of employment in some of the largest hospitals and healthcare facilities in the state including the Bryan LGH Medical Center, Lincoln Surgical Hospital, Alegent Healthcare and Blue Cross of Nebraska.

We currently have no schools offerings in NE for this career path at this time. (Check back with us)
