Thank you!!!! Your logic is so sweet and wise! It's good that you are able to be so honest about the obvious in all of your videos, but in a way that is so deliverable.
I have been a therapist since 2005. I became an instructor in 2007 and one of the things I would tell my students that for every 20 massages they give, it is good to get one and to trade out with a friend. Also Once they graduated and were on their own, get a massage at least once a month.
The best advice .. Healers and carers need healing and care too as well as ensure your own exercise, hydration, nutrition and daily moment as part of your practice in addition to some time out to keep your energy balanced ... absolutely agree one of the truest lessons to those in the healing, movement, care and people field of practice is take care of you without a healthy you you are not in good form to do what you were born to do and love sharing.
I have been getting a full body massage for 4 years now. It helps take the pain and soreness out of my back and shoulders. The best thing I have ever done for may self. I go for a massage once a month.
@wangChongtonight I actually specialize in deep tissue love ! The massage hits different when you’re a positive person with beautiful intentions. Good day love 💕
Brilliant personal and realistic insights into the field of people, healing, movement and care practice . Love that you emphasize not being afraid of all the human form.. I've worked in the care field for 95% of my 50 years of life and it still amazes me how many who work in this field have no concept of the human form and are super inner afraid and so biase of all the human forms.. Absolutely great that you emphasize the importance of careing for you too.. this should be for most in your daily practice. Do you have any more videos on self promotion too??.. it's all good to know you have genuine desire for delivering therapeutic therapies and want to share your love and enjoyment of healthing, careing, movement and therapeutic modalities but to make a living out of it is a key aspect to continuing motivation to practice.. would really like to hear back from you and see some videos on this part of this field of practice too.. Your passion and genuine interest in this field of practice really comes through in your inner and outer presence and presentation manner.. Thank you so much for sharing.. keep up the great work.. 👍😊👍
I was thinking on becoming a masseuse, but after you said, hairy back, I decided not to!! 😭 And my second choice is facial treatment, and massage!! Really helpful, thank you so much!!
The only thing that ever gave cause for concern were warts. Because I couldn't remember if they were infectuous and if by massaging them if I could spread them to myself and future clients.
I'm thinking off doing 🤔 there's loads off people saying I should do it I'm not qualified but the people I've worked on saying I've relieved alot off pain and keep coming back for more
Great, practical advice. Thanks! I would love to be a massage therapist, but am considered because I have scoliosis, sciatica and osteoarthritis in one finger. I believe I can, but intend on strengthening up and seeing a chiropractor and massage therapist before training. I'm 36, so hopefully!
Gerry Chiu Hey man, don't think much at the negative aspect of being a male therapist. As a male therapist, I would say work on appearance since that's what the number one way people "pick" you to work on them. And just applify those skills. If you have good skills and as long as one person gives you a chance it will cause a chain where that person will tell someone else and so on. Remember people have their preferences, and do not let it bother you, just work with your tools to make the best of what you can do!
@@pedrozavala1663 yea you're absolutely right. Apperance is important. Self promotion is important. But having a diversified skillset is huge. People expect more from male therapist. As my female instructor told me in school, Guys study up. But once you do you'll do well.
So I'm starting over and taking on a new career after being a stay at home mom for a while. I KNOW that being an LMT is what I want to do and I have a vision for it. My question is... I'm a small framed woman. I'm 5'1", 125 lbs and I'm just overall petite. Have you encountered any therapists like this and do they have many hurdles to overcome because of their size? I am very active and I do workout a lot so I'm hoping that it won't be too much of a problem. Thanks for any input you can give me.
not what i was thinking, i thought having a great memory would be a most, something i sadly dont.. not really surprised about the enegry and all i am tho about short life span.. lol
Hi. Im a massage therapist too in Indonesia, but i heard that in America they pay alot for massage therapist. How do I can get a job in America as massage therapist? Please answer 😊 and thankyou for your help.
Hey Spencer, I need some advice. Almost everyday when I get home from work at around 4pm (I begin at wake up around 5 am to start at 7:30am my job is computer work) . I have dinner and then after an hour I start feeling very sleepy ,tired, and not willing to do much is the anyway that you can think of to avoid that I can stay somewhat active at night without drinking coffee or caffeinated drinks that can mess up my sleep? Thank you !
Not a foot person(its gross and you dont know if they have a fungus).. Like my tools especially heated ones. People like it and i dont have to touch feet. Win win.
Im in colledge at the moment and i confidently say no however it also depends on what you scope of practise is, if you are for egsample working with alot of competative strength athletes (powerlifters body builders) the job may require more physical strength to work on larger muscle tissues in comparison to working as a general remedial therapist. Depending on where you are there is also avenues to get into things like dry needling and spa therapy. you will be tested on the strength of your wrist flexors and extensors. I dont have a issues as i have had a background in metal fabrication thay have served me well but I have peers who have to invest more energy on the matter
I love the way u sound and the way you pronounce your words. I would love to get a massage from u one day, whenever I’m in the area
Thank you!!!! Your logic is so sweet and wise! It's good that you are able to be so honest about the obvious in all of your videos, but in a way that is so deliverable.
Been thinking about a career/life change...and this is secretly what I’ve wanted for a while. Thanks for the advice
What career are you switching from? I am thinking about doing the same thing
I have been a therapist since 2005. I became an instructor in 2007 and one of the things I would tell my students that for every 20 massages they give, it is good to get one and to trade out with a friend. Also Once they graduated and were on their own, get a massage at least once a month.
Jimmy Terry smart advice its extremely necessary!

@@HMMHarwood So true...I cared for my father for 8 years....and neglected myself..... just the same for massage therapists
I have been getting a full body massage for 4 years now. It helps take the pain and soreness out of my back and shoulders. The best thing I have ever done for may self. I go for a massage once a month.
Please... share strengthening and self care for forearms and hands 💜
Every client i touch falls asleep 10 mins into it 😭😂
That's awesome! I hope to be that effective
Please how do you do it?

I was thinking on becoming a masseuse, but after you said, hairy back, I decided not to!! 😭
And my second choice is facial treatment, and massage!! Really helpful, thank you so much!!
Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺❤
These videos are amazing! Very inspiring for a first year therapist. Thank you!
These videos are great. I hope you'll start throwing some more ASMR in--your efforts on that front were really relaxing!
The only thing that ever gave cause for concern were warts. Because I couldn't remember if they were infectuous and if by massaging them if I could spread them to myself and future clients.
Hey man, first of all you help alooooooot of people! That includes me. I watched this video twice! Thank you!!
Thank you Spencer The Great!
I love your videos. I am a massage therapist as well. Thank you for share your experience.
Spencer, your videos are so informative. You do a great job! Wished you lived in my area.
It really helps me a lot thanks so much
I'm thinking off doing 🤔 there's loads off people saying I should do it I'm not qualified but the people I've worked on saying I've relieved alot off pain and keep coming back for more

Thank you this is just what i needed to hear 💙
The last one is a little tricky for me😅😅 I’m bad at promoting myself
Great information
#2 I thought you would say that you love touching people. I agree with your points. Thanks.
This video was published in 2017!? I just found you! OMG, where have I been? Oh yeah, massaging 🤗
Hey Spencer, I'm first :D ....excellent as always. Keep up the good work, I'm your biggest fan :)
Notification squad! Haha thank you!

Great advice.
Omg you are at 9k subscribers! Congrats!
Get your massages!!!!!!
How can I build confidence to promote my self? I know what I am doing hands on but I don't feel able to promote my services 100%🤓. Any advices?
I have never had a massage. but would like to get one.
When you say life span do you mean they die or do u mean last in the massage business?
I'm a masseur. Some clients just don't like male to do them massage. Been feeling sad about that and thinking stop doing this job anymore.

at54tl (LPSYS.NET) I think, you should check your diet. This is nothing to do with a massage.
at54tl (LPSYS.NET) maybe try a little workout get the body active a little more alert.
Did you ever tried to go to someone who does traditional Chinese healthcare. My experiences learned me they're experts in what you described
❤❤❤💗
Not a foot person(its gross and you dont know if they have a fungus).. Like my tools especially heated ones. People like it and i dont have to touch feet. Win win.
what sorts of tools? feet and foot fungus skeeves me out too...
Does one need a degree in medicine to become a massage therapist in the US?
Tatiana Ishchenko yes.
Depending on the state you live in, you need either a license or certification in massage therapy
Lifespan of a massage therapist is shorter? Wait,why? Can't just be because the stress you're putting on your hands and arms...?
Will this job make my arms and shoulders bulky

Dark skin light skin etc…
You lost me at" average life span of therapist is so short. "
what do you mean Spencer?! haha
Seriously. You mean as a therapist or as a living being.
Burned out. Carpal tunnel. Back issues. Therefore self care is necessary.
Still cute :)
Now say "Breakfast".
Are therapist able to wear gloves when working on people?
NoneOfYourBusiness if the therapist has an open sore like a cut then they wear gloves.
massage TheRapist
does his voice annoy anyone else?

Seriously. You mean as a therapist or as a living being.
