Why should I go to massage therapy school?

Career Flexibility & Opportunities

One of the most valued aspects of any career is flexibility. People want to know that they will always have options available to them. Whether they need a change of scenery or are looking for new financial opportunities, they want to be able to make an informed decision between great options rather than choosing the lesser of two evils.

As a massage therapist, you have exactly that. According to the Cortiva Institute, more than 75 percent of massage therapists are self employed. You have the ability to choose your clients, make your own schedule and work as many or as few hours as you want.

There are also growing opportunities for massage therapists in spas and health clubs, rehabilitation centers and hospitals. There is even a strong movement right now urging healthcare providers to include massage therapy in their standard packages.

This flexibility allows you to choose between working in a number of different settings, helping people do everything from relieve stress to recover from injuries due to sports or accidents. Starting out in a massage therapy school could have you choosing between a number of great opportunities before you know it.
