Massage Therapists Business Hints and Tips for a Successful Massage Career

Massage Therapists Business Hints and Tips for a successful massage career

Millionaires when asked about their businesses “what would you do differently?” invariably reply “Go to the experts sooner”.

When we start a business we often try and go it alone for various reasons, we can’t afford help, we are proud and want the achievement to be all ours, we don’t know who to ask for help or how to ask for it, we think we know it all…..

All of this is a mistake. We need the help, vision, advice, expertise of many different people and many people love to give their help and advise for free.

If they aren’t willing to help for free, try bartering with them and swapping your services hour for hour.

Yumiko decided to take our Learn to Massage in 1 Day workshop, purely out of interest to massage her partner and friends. She so fell in love with it that she straight away signed up for our Diploma. Almost as soon as she qualified she handed in her notice as a translator for a large company in the city and concentrated on a new career as a massage therapist. That was in 1999. I saw Yumiko in May and she is teaching Onsite (chair) massage and is studying shiatsu. Her massage practice by the way is very successful.

Massage Therapists Business Tips- creating a niche for a successful Massage Career

If you have ever heard me speak at a conference on marketing you will have heard me say that it is no longer good enough to be a therapist you need to be a specialist and have a niche. Please read my blog about research on the benefits of massage for relieving menopause Symptoms. Could this be your niche?

A small number of massage sessions with scented oils may be enough to help ease menopause symptoms in some women, according to a new study.

The work by Iranian scientists at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences found the sessions could relieve symptoms such as irritability, depression and disruptive sleep problems and that the presence of the oil helped the massage to be more effective.

Dr Hilda Hutcherson, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, who was not involved in the study, told Reuters Health that the results seemed logical.
With the symptoms the study measured it makes sense that massages could make some women feel better, she stated.

Lavender oil was found to be the most effective addition to a massage and Dr Hutchinson said the oil has an association with making people feel more relaxed.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, some women may experience all the symptoms associated with the menopause, while others may not have any at all.
