Massage Therapists
Massage therapists use the art of human touch and
massage techniques to relieve pain, promote
relaxation, relieve stress and muscle tension, and
improve circulation and range of motion. Many people
seek out massage because it creates a feeling of
well-being. Massage therapists can specialize in
more than 80 types of massage, referred to as
modalities, and most therapists specialize in several
modalities.
Those who are interested in working with people and
desire to improve the health of others may find
massage therapy to be a rewarding profession.
Job Potential

Statistics indicates employment for massage
therapists is expected to increase faster than average
through 2018 as more people learn about the benefits
of massage therapy. Potential employers range from
health spas and wellness clinics to chiropractors,
