Massage Therapy is the Career for You

Massage therapy is projected to grow 21% in the next 10 years, due to the demand and benefits drawing people like you to the profession.

The results of a study surveying 1200 massage therapist about their career satisfaction discovered:

Overall, 88% of surveyed massage therapists are “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with their careers.
99% of massage therapists believe their work has a positive impact on their clients.

One of the many career benefits of being a massage therapist is your numerous employment options. Some massage therapists are self-employed and work out of their homes or private offices. Other massage therapists find jobs in spas, health clubs, massage studios, or the offices of physical therapists or chiropractors.

Most massage therapists view their benefits going beyond the financial including:

Helping Clients
Most massage therapists are motivated to help others, and one of the top rewards of the job is knowing you are making a difference in people’s lives.

Schedule Flexibility
If a flexible schedule is important to you, a job as a massage therapist can be a great option.

Be Your Own Boss
Massage therapy can allow you to be your own boss giving you more freedom, greater control over your day, and increased satisfaction in your career.

Massage therapy and its effects on the brain

How Does Massage Affect Your Brain? What Research Shows

Massage therapy affects more than muscles. Touch and pressure send sensory information to the nervous system and can influence brain activity, autonomic regulation, and stress-related physiology. Research suggests massage may promote relaxation and alter measures such as cortisol, while newer neuroimaging research is beginning to clarify how massage interacts with the brain.
