Alpha School of Massage

I have been getting massage for several years now, and the massages that I get from the students at Alpha School of Massage are always great. In my opinion, they are just as good as the massages I have received from licensed therapists. Some of the massages that they offer can't even be found at most massage clinics or spas, such as their Barefoot Deep Tissue Massage. You can tell that the students want to please you and that they are really trying to give a good massage. I really enjoy the electric table warmer that makes the table toasty warm when I am on it. Not only do the massages feel wonderful, they are inexpensive, only costing $30 per hour. If you have never had a massage before, give this place a try, you'll be glad you did. If you get regular massage and pay $50, $60 or more per hour, schedule your next massage at Alpha and save some money. I'll bet you like their massages just as much as the more expensive ones. My hat's off to their instructors. I can usually call the same day or the day before to schedule my appointment and they are open Monday thru Friday. It's easier to get appointments in the morning, but I usually can get an appointment in the evening when I remember to call early enough. Don't know how I'd make it through the week without them! more

How can you beat school for free?? It's definatley a great deal. Teachers are very intelligent and have alot to share. You can really learn so much that you can't learn anywhere else in Jacksonville! more

Alpha School of Massage has a great 900-hour program that offers massage techniques, which most schools do not teach. Although, I have finished half of the program, there is still a lot, in which the instructors have to teach and that I have to learn. The instructors are very knowledgeable and are willing to help. At the end of the program, the majority of the students will have gained more experience then most, beginner LMT's. more

I am a student in the free tuition program. This program is teaching us so many aspects of massage therapy and our instructor makes it easy to learn and understand. Many students are starting a new career path, and some are recent graduations starting their first career. The school offers very affordable massages to the public, and they go way beyond just a standard Swedish relaxation massage, but that is also available if you prefer. You can come here regularly, its affordable, and just one way to take care of your body. Or enroll in the class yourself and learn how you can start a new career, or help people to feel better. Pros: affordable for a massage or free tuition for students Cons: private rooms in common area, older building more

Cons: You must make an appointment; there are not many, if any, appointments available for walk-ins. Alpha is not open every Saturday. more

Through much research I choose this school to attend, with their great instruction in advance medical massage. With the best training in relaxation massage, we are also learning many protocols (such as) for people who suffer with tension and Migraine headaches, fibromyaligia, neck, shoulder and back pain. This is also a great place to get a massage (such as, relaxation, back and shoulder, four hand and even barefoot) and at an inexpensive price. more

Alpha School of Massage has the best deal going for anybody that is interested in learning massage! The entire tuition is being waived for those students that enroll on or before July 15, 2007. more

The therapist who did my massage was very informative being it was my first experience and she explained step by step what she would do. It was a little chilly but the expenerience in a whole is something that I plan to do in the very near future Pros: Inexpensive, Friendly Cons: A lilttle chilly more

Massage by students at a reasonable price ($30/hr). Massages all take place in one big room, so it can get a little noisy. Therapists can give a good basic swedish massage, but don't ask for any specialized work. Temperature is chilly. Different randomly-assigned massage therapist every time. Some seem to care, others are just trying to make a grade. Pros: Inexpensive Cons: Students, Chilly room, Noise more
