Question: What kind of options are there for a massage therapist?
Answers:
At this point,it is a little early for you to decide where you would like to work. You haven't been exposed to the various types of massage therapy or bodywork or manual therapy training available yet. If you are inclined to do relaxation type massage,then any of your suggestions would work just fine. I was introduced to massage therapy 26 years ago when my wife severely injured her low back. After 3 months of useless chiropractic treatment,a very talented MT/neuromuscular therapist fixed her in one treatment. I knew right then I wanted to work with people suffering with myofascial pain. After massage school and some advanced training,I worked for two chiropractors(thought I'd help make a difference) Well did I get an education in the workings of a chiropractic office. My sole purpose was to scam people into unending treatments,which I just couldn't do. So my advice,avoid chiropractors like the plague! I have a private practice,treating mainly neck and low back pain utilizing,trigger point therapy,muscle energy technique,positional release,graston instruments,and naprapathic manipulation. Massage therapy is a fantastic way to earn a living,and the options are only limited by you.
