I've been a massage therapist for five years. I do recommend massage schools, but as a caveat, these are students getting hands on experience, and you might not get a great massage every time, but it is an opportunity to find someone you like. Sometimes you can stick with the student afterward at a VERY discount price. Another option is one of these membership clinics like Massage Envy, Hand & Stone, etc. A lot of their employees are fresh out of school or new to an area, and their rates are very reasonable. And most of all: Don't ask, don't get! You can ask your therapist if they have a sliding scale rate. Some will give discounts for repeat business ($10 off each session if you come in once a month).
