Massage Therapy Careers

A Career in Massage Therapy Offers a Flexible Work Schedule

As times get tough, people are suffering from stress related illnesses such as headaches, shoulder, and back pain along with a plethora of other symptoms. Massage therapy has also become a vital role in western medicine as it is being integrated into patient treatment.

Types of massage therapy include Swedish massage, which incorporates kneading, gliding, and pounding motions to promote relaxation. Trigger point is used to alleviate pain in a specific area in the body. Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning the deep layers of muscle to help relieve back and neck pain. Shiatsu is the use of finger pressure to a pinpointed area that needs attention. It is based on the ancient Chinese meridian method. Hot stones massage helps the muscles to relax by the use of heated volcanic rocks that retain heat. Sports massage is typically used on athletes and is used to alleviate chronic pain.

As a massage therapist, you have the ability to work in a hospital, your own office, nursing home, the sports field, chiropractic office, spa or resort, or a cruise ship. Along with the flexibility of locations, you can specialize in massage therapy in pregnancy, stress reduction, or injury rehabilitation.

Like to have a flexible schedule, or to work for yourself, part or full-time? You have a lot to offer as a massage therapist.
