I would love to have a massage once and awhile..but I am a typical man. A bit chunky and a little hairy. I save the employees the grief and just do not go...I guess I should consider the waxings.......NAH!!

I have not done that but I did have a full body massage one time and was left to relax afterwards with eye mask and headphones on and swathed in several towels. It felt totally weird for a while but just as I was getting used to it the therapist came back and released me.

A Physiotherapist is an individual that is qualified to diagnose and provide preventative and therapeutic services which are used in restoring the mobility to the body and to prevent disabilities from diseases, injury and trauma.  A physiotherapist must possess the knowledge of how the body works, of different types of injuries and the techniques needed to aide the proper healing, they must also have a good knowledge of all types of diseases and be able to tell the difference between good and poor posture.  They must know the movement capabilities and functions along with normal and abnormal balancing.  \n\n\nA biomechanist is practically the same thing, but the pay differs.

uhh being a massage therapist, you'd have to rub people all day long, so unless you have strong hands and dont mind rubbing on all types of people.. old... hairy... ugly... fat... stinky... then it wouldnt be too bad... and if you run your own massage place then you can choose who you work on.... legal secretary you'd more than likely be working for rich lawyer's who most the the time are pricks, but some of them can be nice... i have friends and family who have done both jobs.. and thus far the massage therapist one has worked out better...

Hey!  I just graduated massage therapy school here in Ohio , and I will be taking the state medical board exam in June, since massage is regulated by the state medical board here.  Once licensed, I will be going into private practice and my income will be $55 - $60 per hour, which after taxes is still good money.  I have never been so happy either - massage is a great field to get into with tons of opportunities for employment.  If you enjoy caring for people I strongly recommend a career in massage therapy!  If you wanna talk or need anything massage related just e-mail me!  Good luck!

I took 1 year of a 3 year course in Canada, it was really intense and hard, but worth it... I didn't finish at the time because my son was only 2 years old, and demanding more and more of my time...  anyhow back on track!  Massage Therapy is a field with many many possibilities, from sports therapy, to spas... I would ask you parents to consider the possibility (among others) and then go with them to a collage open house, where you can meet with the instructors and get all of you/you parents questions asked... If you are serious about this career path, you parents will see that and come around! if worse comes to worse you can always take some time off between courses and work to save up for your tuition! Good luck in your endeavors... if you have any more questions e-mail me: hugh0076@yahoo.com

Anyplace other than your sex organs that you allow them. Most therapists will rub your glutes(butt), during a typical swedish massage, but breast massage is usually more of an eslan massage technique and reserved until requested by the client. Often breast massage will be done on pregnate or new mothers with swollen and tender mamaries. But the most common rule of thumb is that the therapists hands never go under the drape or towel. With the exception of eslan massage which sometimes uses no drape at all.

Massage therapists held about 97,000 jobs in 2004. About two-thirds were self-employed. Of those self-employed, most owned their own business, and the rest worked as independent contractors. Others found employment in salons and spas; the offices of physicians and chiropractors; fitness and recreational sports centers; and hotels. About three-quarters of all massage therapists worked part-time or had variable schedules, although as mentioned earlier many massage therapists who work 15 to 30 hours per week consider themselves to be full-time workers.\n\nEmployment for massage therapists is expected to increase faster than average over the period from 2004 to 2014 as more people learn about the benefits of massage therapy.\n\nMedian hourly earnings of massage therapists, including gratuities earned, were $15.36 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $9.78 and $23.82. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $7.16, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $32.21. Generally, massage therapists earn 15 to 20 percent of their income as gratuities. For those who work in a hospital or other clinical setting, however, tipping is not common.

People who are professionally trained to carry out a complimentary therapy are insured by an awarding body. If you ever go to get a complimentary therapy then the professional should have all their certificates on show so you know that they're qualified and which awarding body their insured by.

If you are in a school for massage they should instruct students in all aspects concerning the massage treatment for a client. This topic is obviously very important because first impressions are important and this topic should have been covered by your instructors or in a book or some type covering customer relations.However I would think it would be good for you to behave in a professional friendly manner to your client and smile and state your name to the client and ask how they are today and escort the client to the massage area to do the massage. Good luck. Nuf said .

It is a could idea to know about the human body if you are going to be massaging it. A little knowledge never hurt anyone and every school is different it sounds the school you are going is a good school and will teach you well.

You should have some basic forms for people to fill out with health history etc.\nYour school should teach you what conditions to avoid working on, what is contraindicated etc.\n\nAsk a few massage therapists that are already out of school if you can see the forms they use, make copies and keep them in a file.\nThen along with that, keep what you get in school, and the salon you work in, or other places you go may also have forms to use.\nKeep all your originals.(save for yourself -- I have been in business 10+ yrs & still have old papers like this in a file just in case I want to go back & change things)\nCompile the questions you think are the best or apply the most to where you are working.\nIf you are an employee of a salon, the owner will probably have to approve of it-- vs. if you are just renting space as an independent contractor.
