Job Highlights Body Massage Therapist
Massage Therapy Schools
Recent research continues to reflect growing trends in body massage therapy: people are getting more body massages and it’s becoming more mainstream, appealing to everyone from young adults to those who are more mature.
 People are seeking the therapeutic benefits of body massage therapy also report getting massages for relaxation, to relieve aches and pains and to help reduce stress.
Employment is projected to increase much faster than the average, as rapid growth in the number of middle-aged well-to-do and elderly individuals increases the demand for therapeutic body massage services.
Licensed massage therapists have an associate's degree, but some medical massage therapists learn skills on the job.
More than two-thirds of jobs for massage therapist positions were in resorts, hotels, spas and offices of massage therapists.
Massage Therapists perform the components of body massage therapy procedures and related tasks taught by a supervising massage therapist. These workers then graduate becoming massage therapists in providing services that help improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. Clients can include accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions, such as low back pain, soft tissue injury, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, and cerebral palsy. An increasing number of patients seek massage to help alleviate everyday stress and strains considering treatment as a gift of health. Many physical therapists refer patients to body massage therapists as a cost saving measure.
Body Massage Therapists perform a variety of tasks. Components of treatment procedures performed by these workers involve different types of massages, electrical stimulation, mud baths, hot and cold packs, aroma-therapy and essential oils baths, facials and other personal services. Including a full-body massage utilizing long strokes and kneading to reduce tension, soothe sore muscles, and increase circulation to promote total relaxation.
Some high-end resorts are built around the services of massage therapist who may perform services using:
