Be Happy and Be Lucrative

Most Massage Therapists will tell you they are very happy and satisfied with their job. They will say it is a very rewarding career because they have the opportunity to help people with stressful, demanding lives to relax and help relieve pain from those with arthritis, cancer and chronic pain, to name a few. Massage Therapists will also acknowledge they love their flexible work schedule and hours. They will also tell you that it is hard work, but because of the  personal satisfaction they gain, it is well worth it.

Some LMT’s will say they are not in it for the money, but massage therapy can be financially rewarding and we all have to earn a living, so we wanted to share with you some of the highest paid massage therapy jobs.
•The highest paid overall is the self-employed massage therapist. Overhead costs will reduce net pay, but the self-employed therapist will receive the full amount of their therapy sessions. 
•The Reflexology Specialist is on average the highest paid massage therapist for those  working for an employer. The Reflexology technique uses gentle pressure on the hands and feet based on zones to improve corresponding organs and body parts. 
•A massage therapist can also earn a lucrative career working with a Physical Therapist. The Physical Therapist Assistant helps patients regain physical function or experience pain  reduction. 
•For those who want to inspire others and help shape future LMT’s, they can become a  Massage Therapy Instructor and earn a great living while doing so. Speak with the IOTM  instructors and they will tell you they love their job!
•If working in an athletic environment is for you then become a Sports Massage Therapist. This job would require the massage therapist to massage athletes before, during or after a sports event and it also pays well.
