Employment of Medical Massage Therapists Is On the Rise

Employment of Medical Massage Therapists Is On the Rise

What is a medical massage therapist?

A medical massage therapist is a licensed massage therapist (LMT) who treats health conditions diagnosed by a doctor.

Medical massage therapists pursue advanced training and experience and work closely with doctors to treat patients who are affected by pain, illness, or injury.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of massage therapists is projected to grow by 18% from 2022 to 2032, far outpacing the average for all occupations.

This growth rate reflects the increasing integration of massage therapy into mainstream healthcare and wellness programs.
