September 4, 2009, Newsletter Issue #50: Professional Behavior & Safety As A Massage Therapist

Tip of the Week

An extremely important aspect of becoming a massage therapist that you can learn from massage schools like the Cortiva Institute is professional behavior and safety. As an employee of a company, owner of a business or as a private contractor, you need to have an understanding of both business and personal ethics. These schools will teach you how to interact with clients, employers and employees as a professional.

They will also teach you about maintaining your safety. This is especially important for private contractors. Many massage therapists are self-employed and work out of their homes. Others travel to the homes of their clients for appointments. Like any field where you work alone, there are always things you can do to ensure safety and security.

Massage therapy schools can teach you how to maintain your safety in the various settings you may find yourself in. From clear and selective advertising to not carrying cash on you from one appointment to the next, telephone screening and much more.

When you are your own boss it is up to you to ensure your safety. When you work for a company, you should be aware of the safety measures they should be taking for you. That is one of the most important things you can learn from a proper massage school.
