Launch your new career with a massage therapy training program

There are a wide variety of reasons to pursue a massage therapist career. Some people pursue this work because they like the joy of helping others relieve pain, improve circulation, and relieve stress. Others choose it for its flexibility. Most massage therapists are self-employed, which means they can set their own hours and clients. Others work in chiropractic offices or other healthcare settings.

No matter where you work, as a massage therapist, your job will be to:

  • Use your hands and other tools to manipulate muscles and other soft tissues of a client’s body
  • Talk with clients about their symptoms, medical history, and desired results
  • Evaluate clients to locate painful or tense areas
