Looking to take your job into your own hands? You should be a Massage Therapist…
Massage Therapists use a range of techniques to manipulate their clients’ muscles and soft body tissue, with the overall aim of improving health and wellbeing.
There are a number of different types of massage therapy they could employ (e.g. Swedish, shiatsu, sports and deep tissue), and benefits of regular treatments could include pain relief, improving circulation, injury recovery and even alleviating the effects of stress, depression and anxiety.
Typical duties for a Massage Therapist could include:
- Consulting with clients to determine problem areas
- Learning more about medical history & lifestyle, and devising treatment plans
- Applying pressure to ease tension areas
- Administering specialised treatments, such as deep tissue massages
- Advising on how to maintain improvements in life, such as changing posture
- Booking follow-up appointments, and completing courses of treatment
- Referring to medical professionals if further care is required
