Becoming a massage therapist is a great career choice for many people.  Massage therapists can have flexible hours and can work in a variety of different settings.  Another benefit of becoming a massage therapist is that is it can be good for your health.  Choosing massage therapy as your career can have the following health benefits:

- Because resistance movements strengthen tissue, massage therapists have stronger muscles and bones.

-Massage therapists tend to have great core strength.  Using both their core and legs to massage, there are able to build up these muscles.

- Massage therapists are actively massaging their clients for a good part of their work day.  This burns calories and helps massage therapists to maintain a healthy weight.

- Massage therapists work in a relatively low stress work environment.  Lower levels of stress are better for overall health.
-Going to massage school educates massage therapists about health and fitness.  When massage therapists learn about these things, they can apply them to their own lives.


- Massage therapists are very likely to get massages themselves.  Research has shown that massage therapy has many health benefits.
