Why Choose Registered Massage Therapist as a Career?
Choosing a rewarding career is one of the most important decisions in our life. With many options available, we want to make sure we make the right choice and choose a career that provides a great potential earning and job satisfaction, and at the same time it is also a great fit to other lifestyle commitments. If you are considering to become a RMT, here are some of the great reasons why you should choose massage therapy as a career.
Healing Others
As a massage therapist you will practice a rewarding career healing others after injury or stress. Whether it is a therapeutic massage to help with pain and recovery or a peaceful relaxation massage to help with stress reduction, you will feel content and rewarded at the end of every day knowing that your skills have created positive impact on your patient’s life.
Flexibility
As both a student and a graduated therapist you will have flexibility in your life! Learning offers a blended learning option. This allows for work and life balance. At CITCM, classes are offered online with only 2 days onsite practical classes per week. Upon graduation you are ready to practice professionally and set your own schedule. You may choose work at a clinic, a spa, or as your own boss making your own hours in a home or mobile based business.
Boundless Opportunities
Massage therapists are employed at clinics, spas, and for those who like adventure, you can work at tourist resorts, cruise ships, or you can even choose to build your own practice. Massage therapists have the option to continue to grow by studying other professional healing modalities including acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, herbology and nutrition.
