What is the Education difference between a Massage Therapist and a Physical Therapist?
I understand that a Massage and Physical therapist are two different occupations, but what degrees do you go through that are different for each? I’ve looked it up, and it says for a Massage Therapist, all you need is a certificate/degree in Massage work. I find that hard to believe, and was wondering if there was something that the internet lacked to tell me?
It is true, you only need a certificate to become a massage therapist. Yet, the job market for this is very poor and your ability to get regular income and benefits is limited.
Physical therapy takes at least a master’s degree and most programs are now doctoral. But to counterpoint one of the above posts, it’s a DPT, not a PhD and typically takes 6-7 years….very rarely 8. Physical therapy is a true professional and the job market, earning potential and ability to secure benefits is very stable.
