There are times in life when we go down different paths then finally find the right destination, and when it comes to massage therapy as a career it’s exciting to see how not only the massage industry is evolving but also the luxury day spa world as a whole.
In particular, now the art of massage is being valued and requested more than ever which opens doors and unlocks opportunities for those that are passionate about helping others by implementing both classic massage techniques as well as more recent, trending massage modalities that all culminate into one thing: Making someone’s day better.
Looking at some of the most common questions our team at Burke Williams has been getting recently, we want to share our feedback below:
Can you make a career out of massage therapy?
With the rise of luxury day spas and massage companies you can definitely make a career as a massage therapist, though you have to think about whether you’re going to operate independently as a massage therapist and business owner, split your time between opportunities – and that all depends on you.
Is a massage therapist a good career choice?
Becoming a massage therapist now offers a huge opportunity and range of benefits that weren’t available before primarily because the industry was still evolving. But now the opportunities are endless, especially with the rise of social media driving the demand for relaxation/escape that’s gone viral.
What is the highest level of massage therapy?
The highest level of any art/skill whether you’re a doctor, lawyer, massage therapist or any other professional is not the degree/certification alone but instead the results and how they work together. The combination of massage therapy education/certifications along with real world experience is what becomes special and puts someone at the top.
