Massage therapists graduate with the skills they need to get a job right away.  Massage therapy school involves a lot of hands-on training. Students are trained in musculature, anatomy, and multiple massage therapy techniques. By the time massage therapy students graduate, they have enough practical experience to work at spas, hospitals, clinics, or even out of their own homes.

Massage therapists are licensed professionals. To become a licensed massage therapist, you must complete a certification or degree program at a massage therapy school like the Academy of Massage Therapy & Bodyworks. You also will obtain hundreds of hours of practice. Massage therapy is a respected profession due in part to the stringent requirements for becoming a massage therapist.

Massage therapists have the option to work in exciting locations like tourist areas and even on cruise ships! If you are looking for a career that will make it easier for you to relocate if needed, massage therapy may be a good choice. And, for the most part, massage therapists can set their own hours. Many massage therapists are self-employed which allows them to set appointments around their own schedules. Being able to make your own schedule is a huge advantage.

Massage therapists work in relaxing environments. Imagine spending your working hours in a peaceful environment surrounded by scented candles, soft towels, and soothing music. The ambiance makes it a relaxing experience for both the client and the massage therapist.

Massage therapists help people! Massage therapists provide an invaluable service to people who are in pain, recovering from injuries, or experiencing stress. Massage therapy speeds up the healing process, improves circulation, and can help to restore emotional balance.

Clients look forward to seeing their massage therapist. It’s not like a trip to the dentist! Clients enjoy massage appointments and look forward to each and every one!  Whether the reason is medicinal, therapeutic, or just a special occasion, people look forward to getting massages. Seeing a massage therapist is a positive experience associated with feeling good.

If you are hoping for a career that will keep you in good physical shape, massage therapy is a good fit! Massage therapists are physically active. Massage therapists work on their feet and engage their entire body when giving a massage. The nature of the work is physically demanding, and as a result, massage therapists tend to be in great shape.

Because the value of massage therapy is becoming more widely recognized, job growth in this field is continuously growing. New massage therapy jobs are constantly being created in places such as nursing homes and office buildings.

Massage therapists can become self-employed. A large percentage of massage therapists are independent, work from home, and travel to see clients.
