Massage Therapy Career

General June 26th, 2009

Considering a career in massage therapy? Most massage experts are long term practitioners althought the profession will not suit all personality types. There is a big difference between the various modalities and there is an extremely big difference between working as a private practitioner and working in a hotel setting. Deep tissue massage for example takes considerably more physical strength than Swedish massage.

Massage therapy careers can be rewarding – not just financially speaking, but on a more personal level. The satisfaction of making another person feel well, or better about themselves is very rewarding. Unfortunately, many large institutions will take advantage of this and pay what many would consider to be under the value of the therapist.

The best paying gigs seem to be the least rewarding emotionally. But that should not put you off from choosing a career as a massage therapist. It is possible to earn a decent living in massage, but as a private practitioner it will take time to build a client base, whereas a spa has a ready made client list.

Whether you choose to learn traditional Western techniques or some of the more modern energetic based modalities will depend on your ultimate goals. In many countries and US states, the training requirements are quite stringent to be able to be licensed, but this is not always necessary to be able to practice as a body worker.

The most rewarding aspect of being a massage therapist is the knowledge that you have helped another human being in their journey through life.
