Massage therapy is a field that is growing in popularity. You will have a number of job options after you graduate from massage school. However, it is best for you to start looking for a job before you graduate. Massage therapists can work in day spas, physician offices, health clubs, nursing homes and beauty salons. Before you start looking for a job, you should put together a resume and have someone read over it. You should also ask the career advisors at your school about a job placement service.

You also have the option of starting your own business. In fact, it is estimated that 60 percent of massage therapists are self-employed. The first step in starting your own massage business is creating a vision. Think about what you want to accomplish by starting your business. You should also write down your purpose and mission statement. You will also need to create an informed consent form.

Additionally, you should choose a place for your business. Some massage therapists rent an office space while others travel to the homes of their clients to provide services. Advertisement is one of the keys to attracting clients. You should put up fliers in health clubs, spas, hotels and physical therapy centers. You should also create a website or blog for your business. This will make it easy for people to find out about your massage therapy business.

Furthermore, once you have established your client base, you should encourage your clients to refer their family members and friends to you. Client referrals will help you save money because they can help you build your business without advertisement.
