Massage therapy is a career that can take you surprising places! What type of therapist might you be? Read on to learn more!



The Sports Guru

Sports Massage

Are you athletic, or an avid follower of sports? Most massage therapists who specialize in this field are athletes or closely keep track of their sports of choice. They can travel with teams to competitions, and are an invaluable part of an athlete's health and maintenance.



The Relaxation Expert

Spa Massage Therapist

Do you have a soothing and gentle touch? Are you interested in the therapeutic properties of hot stones, cold plunges, and essential oils? Massage therapists can work in a spa if they specialize in relaxation and mind-body wellness.



The Empath

Energy Worker

Some massage therapists incorporate energetic practice into their work. Whether it be Chakras, Doshas, or moving energy along meridians, these specialists are experts at connecting with the body and mind of the client using their preferred techniques.



The Problem-Solver

Deep Tissue Treatment

Deep tissue therapists are willing to dig in directly and get to the heart of the issue. They are especially good communicators because they need to make sure to go just deep enough into the tissue without causing pain or injury.




The Wanderer

Travel Massage

Bands, film companies, and traveling groups of all kinds will often hire a massage therapist to travel with them. Performing after a week on the road can be physically and mentally exhausting, making massage a high priority.





The Specialist

Myofascial Release, Cranio-sacral, Thai, and more.

Some therapists fall in love with a particular method and decide to become the local specialist. There are dozens of popular modalities, all in high demand. Many enjoy their particular modality because it is the one which helps them the most.



Even if you don't fit in any of the above categories, massage can still be for you! In fact, most massage therapists use a blend of modalities and skills to create their own personal concoction for their sessions. What type of therapist are you? Let us know if you are already enjoying one of these fields, or if you are interested in seeing where massage might take you!
