A massage therapist can have a rewarding and enjoyable career provided he or she has the knowledge, drive and all the right tools. With that being said, here are seven pieces of massage equipment a new therapist needs.

1) With a massage table and chair, a therapist can work with patients and start to meet their wants and needs. Without this piece of equipment, a person will have a hard time getting started.

2) In daily life, a small business owner can find clients all over town. For this reason, a massage therapist must carry and hand out business cards with his or her phone number and website listed on the card.

3) Now, it is crucial for a new massage therapist to have an Internet marketing plan. With a well-written blog, one can attract customers and market their services with ease.

4) With a website, a massage therapist can, without spending a lot of cash, communicate with clients and showcase his or her talent. This is an excellent investment for the long-term as most business use the Internet to find new clients.

5) When a customer comes in and lays down, they will expect the best treatment possible. With lotions and oils, the massage therapist can make a client feel good. Luckily, lotions and oil are inexpensive and will improve the customer experience drastically.

6) When in the room, customers will not wear much, if any, clothing. To keep them warm, one should place a table heater in the room as this will keep the temperature comfortable for everyone.

7) A busy massage therapist will go through a lot of sheets and blankets throughout the day. When a person has this on hand, they can ensure that clients are comfortable throughout the day.

With these seven items, a massage therapist will have the necessary tools to succeed.
