Therapeutic massage in a home setting provides an extremely calming
and tranquil atmosphere and surrounding to let a patient’s cares melt away or
it can help with medical conditions where medications have failed. Having the
care provided in your home setting is very attractive for a lot of patients. In
home massage therapist offer a promising career opportunity for the right
person.
Therapeutic massage does require certification and licensing
requirements for many states. Check with your local community to determine what
the individual requirements are. Some will require massage therapist to even be
zoned by their city council for providing these services in their home.
Many massage therapists that have made the decision to work
from home may have formerly worked with other service providers and determined
that working independently offered more for them professionally as well as
personally.
Chiropractors are the number one provider that typically
will have a massage therapist on staff. However, you can also find them with
mental health providers, physicians, pain management clinics and on staff at
hospitals. There are massage clinics where all of the providers on staff are
massage therapist in many cities and towns.
Many times making the decision to work from home will
initially present an issue because you have to build up a list of clients. You can
do so with advertising, word of mouth, family and friends and other sources. When
you leave a practice with another provider you may have an issue of not being
able to take your clients with you depending upon criteria outlined in your
contract with the provider.
One important factor with the profession of massage therapy
is that you are helping people in a very positive manner. You are providing a
valuable service without the aid of medication in most cases and the horrible
or undesired side effects that accompany it.
A very positive attribute to massage therapy is that no one
seeks out simply one massage. You will build a client list and receive repeat
business continually. You can typically make your own hours and see patient’s
by appointment only which makes this work from home business very attractive.
There is not a large investment in equipment needed to begin
your business and any room that provides a calming or relaxing atmosphere can
be used for servicing customers or clients. There are some therapists that work
from home by taking the massage to the client’s home. There is no rule that doesn’t
say you cannot do both with your business.
Considering massage therapy? You can make a nice living from
it and not all of your patients are ill. There are more positives than
negatives surrounding this profession and you should take advantage of them
all.
