Kann ich mich nach jedem Gesundheitsmassage-Kurs selbständig machen?

Training to become a health masseur or health masseuse can vary greatly in scope and is not always suitable for self-employment. When choosing a suitable school and training course, please consider what you want to achieve with this course and whether the skills taught there correspond to this goal. If you want to gain initial massage skills that you can use on your partner or with friends and family, your skills will be required differently than if you are thinking of becoming self-employed as a masseur or masseuse. For part-time or full-time employment in health massage, a comprehensive training course is recommended, which includes knowledge of anatomy, pathology and first aid as well as various massage techniques. If you are aiming to become self-employed, you should also consider whether you are seeking ASCA or EMR recognition before registering for continuing education, further training, which will enable you to bill your services through supplementary health insurance and will certainly bring you more patients. You can obtain information on this directly from the schools or in our education guide "Education, further training in the fields of health and medicine" (see "Education guide" navigation bar above).
