About how much does a massage therapist get paid?!


Question: How much does a chiropractor get paid?

I'm thinking about doing one or the other......I think I'm leaning more towards the message therapist though.

But I really have no idea how much they make.

Also if you have any experience in these areas I would love to hear any feed back.

Therapists are paid differently based on environment.

In most medical settings, rehabilitation or chiropractic clinics, therapists range between $15 and $35 an hour, while they are performing massage. While they are not performing massage, it is up to the establishment to decide wether the therapist will be a paid a base hourly wage.

In most spa settings the therapists work for a commission only. Meaning for every massage they perform they get a percentage of the rate charged, when they are not massaging they are not paid. Commissions vary from place to place but should generally be between 40-55%.

Chiropractors get paid mostly through insurance billing systems which ends up contributing to a higher service charge. Also chiropractors have the ability to prescribe massage which they bill most insurance companies for $180/hr and pay the therapist a fixed hourly rate. Chiropractors have the ability to generate revenue by more than just practicing their particular expertise.

If you are in it for the money, no doubt you can make more as a chiropractor. If you are in it for the passion of helping people, follow your heart and you will end up in the right place.

$40 to $60 an hour

If in the Philippines,
you get paid usually at 200-300/per hour.

way bigger than a call center rep. :P

I don't know what a chiropractor gets paid - most start their own business. I don't know of many who work as an employee.

The average income for a massage therapist in the first year of business is like $18,000.

They don't usually make much mainly because of lack of business skills. Jobs are low paying so it is better to start your own business.
