 A massage therapist is a licensed professional who is trained to give all types of massages. Massage therapy is a very rewarding career and it can also be very lucrative, but it certainly is not for everyone. Being a massage therapist involves working with people, so this job is ideal for those who are extroverts. A person should also be caring and sensitive to the needs of others. Patience is another one of the important qualities that a massage therapist must have. Additionally, people in this profession should be able to lead as well as follow. Massage therapists are also required to spend a great deal of time on their feet so they should be in excellent health.
