Can I train in only one type of massage?

To become a professional massage therapist is going to require you to be versatile enough to provide massage therapy services to a wide range of clients.

If you choose to work for a day spa after you have graduated from massage school, but you only know how to perform one type of massage therapy, it might be difficult for them to choose to hire you over another massage therapist who is more knowledgeable in the different types of massage therapy.

What types of massage do people usually want?

People will come into a day spa looking for options to meet their specific relaxation needs. Some of the most common massage people are looking for are classic massages, deep tissue massages, foot massages, sports massages, and pre-natal massages.

Sometimes people will visit day spas as groups for part of a celebration of relaxation or a great way to spend family vacation time. A group of people may comprise multiple individuals with separate preferences on the types of massages they want.
