One of the greatest benefits of being a massage
therapist is knowing that you are helping others
heal their bodies and reduce the stress in their
lives.  It is a great feeling knowing that you
are giving someone a better quality of life.
There are many other benefits that come with
being a massage therapist including career
specific training, strong job lookout, and the
ability to practice massage therapy on your terms.

Effective Career Specific Training 
This can make education longer and more
expensive.  With massage therapy, the program is
designed with the career in mind.  Myotherapys
massage therapy program can be completed in less
than 8 months, allowing anyone to start their
career in massage therapy and get licensed in
less time than it would take to get an associate
degree at most colleges.

industry.  This career path can take you anywhere
