Is massage therapy the right career choice for you?
When it comes to massage therapy, there are three main areas which you must enjoy, as they will play a big part in your day-to-day routine.
- Social interaction. A therapist will spend most of their day interacting with and advising their clients. It is so important that you get enjoyment from interaction, and that you can adapt your level of sociability to suit your clients needs.
- Interest in the wellbeing of people and their health. Therapists must have a genuine interest in the wellbeing of their clients. They must have a desire to help their clients both physically & emotionally, and have a genuine level of care for them.
- Patience & Stamina. It is important that you are physically fit and well composed in order to be able to deliver the therapy your client requires. Not only this, but you need to be able to continue delivering a high quality service for multiple clients throughout the working day.
