Finger Lakes School of Massage (FLSM) in Westchester is holding an open house March 18 from 6 to 8 p.m. Alumni, instructors and current students at the school will be on hand to talk about how to turn the gift of touch into a career in the growing field of therapeutic massage therapy.

The art of therapeutic massage is often compared to braille, as the practitioner uses his or her fingers to “read” the human body. Those interested in a career in therapeutic massage can visit the open house to learn the benefits of massage, the rewards of a career in massage, and what is required to become a licensed massage therapist in New York State. Representatives from FLSM’s financial aid department will be available to explain the various options for paying tuition.

Reservations are required, but the event is free and open to everyone. All attendees will receive a complimentary chair massage from an FLSM student. To reserve a seat, call 914.241.7363.
