If you are interested in becoming a Massage Therapist the info is misleading, be prepared to dedicate one to two years of studying the hard sciences such as the following: Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology, Pathophysiology etc as well as dedicating many hours of hands on training .and prepare for a state exam that 3 % pass.
Hi dear I am from India and a trained massage therapist.Didnt get trained from any institute but now excel in the field with quality service and working with Urban Company(Urban Clap).How can I get international certification or license in India any Idea? Or My 3 years experience and training certificate from Urban company is enough to explore globally.
There was no wage growth because there is no Union to protect wages for massage therapists and most are paid on commission per service which has been decreasing every few years as well as discounts being applied to service and Massage Envy bringing wages down nationally. Also, we receive no vacation pay, and very often no health benefits as most locations especially post Covid only higher part time. The only way grow your salary is to work on private clients and set your own wage in relation to your skill set. You can make money if you are highly skilled, medically trained , dual licensed or work in the highest end spas also if you start a spa business or referral service and hire others.
I work at a massage franchise (not massage envy. That place SUX). My coworkers and I have noticed a sharp decline in our tips recently. Most of our clients always gave a $20 tip for a one hour massage. Lately more clients are giving half that, and more recurring tips as low as $6-7 for a $109 massage. That's less than 6% tip. Also the longer the massage, the lower the tip percentage. A two hour massage should give you twice the tip amount as a one hour massage. Not so. Many times the tip amount for a two hour is almost the same as for a one hour. Finally the vast majority of our clients want deep, DEEP tissue work, very physically taxing on us, yet give shit tips. Add the fact that we get no paid time off or insurance along with heavy wear and tear on your body. If you're super strong/fit, go for it. But if you're an average human, this job will have you burned out within two years.
hello hi!!! I am from Philippines living in small island in Mindanao camiguin island,....i am therapist for more than 10years in any resort and hotel in my place i am also ex abroad in Malaysia as reflexologist for 2years.... i want to know how to apply in Canada
@@carolmeller8904massage therapy school is pretty short all things considered. In Nebraska (unfortunately) it’s the highest amount of hours for schooling (1000 hours) but it really only takes a year and some change before you’re fully licensed
So about $30.000 seems to be the average! Which you can bring in home about $2.500 monthly! Not including taxes! It's not bad but it's not great either!
I am interested .. how to come to work there. Im a filipina and longer years experiences in massage . I ha ve more techniques and hundred more strokes in massage.
@@ttdur8102 hey! How are you doing now? I'm interested in this as a career path but it looks like it's super competitive especially in the city unless you can market yourself well. I have loose assumptions if you set up your own LLC and operate out of a office in your home you can do very well in suburbs or smaller cities. Hope it's treating you well!
@@p_eople6789 Hey! So I was just going to do massage therapy on the side because I absolutely love it and it's my dream job. I have a full time job that requires me to get permission if I want a second job so I still haven't worked as an LMT yet. I was only interested in working at massage envy in my city since it guaranteed hours and is close to where I work.
You are incorrect Massage therapy requires education in the hard sciences the exact same courses that are required for nursing as well as 16 hours of continued education and state exam only 3% pass rate
I don't know what state you're in, but here all it takes is a 500 hour certification course. That's not too far off from a CNA but that's way less than it takes to become something like an RN.
That is different in each state here some state don't even require certification what is ok because all those spa with Asian woman they also do massage but they don't have certification and I guess they do a different type of massage
Thank you for the video, Currently I'm interested in becoming a massage therapist and I found this very interesting and informative
Same
You notice they don't give you advice on creating your own Massage Practice, that is why you have no wage growth
I've been practicing massage for 20 years, I made more money prior to 2005 because of the corporate take over.

Appreciate the info! Massage therapists should unionize!
Sir I'm massage therapist since 2015 to 2020
How much did you make starting out?
I'd say you can add roughly an additional 15-20% added income just off tips to the average base salary.
Great information ❤

As silly a question this is, but does having a beard affect you getting clientele or how they look at you?
That's a great question. IBM used to ban beards for their salesmen. Not anymore tho.
As a woman, I love it😄👌 would definitely go to a therapist with a beard. In fact, I had one😊

Amazing video. Is it worth it for a physical therapist to go back to school to study massage therapy and do it part time? Thank you
Do you know how long you have to study that ?
