If your going into massage therapy, go to the best school you can. There are a lot of different techniques that work, but some are much more demanding on the body than others.
I've had massage therapists that were in the business for over 20 years without issue, but they took care of themselves, were always trying to learn new things, and used techniques that were effective but didn't destroy their own body. There are others that left the business within a couple years due to wear and tear.
As such, if it's something she wants to do for a long time, she should invest in a school that has a good reputation and turns out graduates that stay in the industry for a longer than average amount of time as opposed to the school that is the fastest. I don't know where to go to find stats like this, or even if they exist, but it's worth looking into.
