Flexibility

If you are looking for a career that will afford you the flexibility to create your own schedule, massage therapy might be perfect for you. Many massage therapists are self-employed so they only work when they want to and schedule sessions on their own time. Work with the clientele you want to on the schedule that works best for you.

Location flexibility is also a perk. Licensed massage therapists can work from anywhere! Do you want to work at a resort on a beach in paradise? Or a city with hustle and bustle? The choice is yours!

Growth

Licensed massage therapists are in high demand and careers in massage therapy are projected to grow much faster than all other occupations according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the study, the percent change between 2019 and 2029 is 21% growth for massage therapists and only 4% growth for all occupations.

Rewarding

At the core of massage therapy, you would be helping your clients heal. Whether they are recovering from an injury or looking to relax, you are providing a specialized service for them. Because you are helping them heal and providing comfort, your clients will be happy to see you at each appointment, making your work more positive and rewarding than a run of the mill desk job.
