Chair Massage Is For You     by iluvluvluvlucy

My site, www.chairmassageisforyou.com gives you a ton of good reasons for getting a chair massage. Here are 5.
1. Chair massage is affordable. At a buck a minute in most parts of the country, it is a bargain.
2. You keep your clothes on. Believe it or not, most people do not like to take their clothes off in front of anyone, even if they are draped.
3. No messy oils or creams are used in chair massage.
4. It feels great! 15 minutes of pure bliss as the tension and stress your muscles are holding just melt away at the touch of the massage therapist's magic hands.
5. It is quick. The average chair massage session
lasts just 15 to 20 minutes. A typical American coffee break and you will feel ever so much better than caffeine can make you feel!

1. Better Pay--You can make some pretty decent money as a massage therapist. Work for yourself, not for a spa or a massage in a box type franchise. They do not pay you well and demand all of your time and energy. It will take you one to two years to build a decent practice so you may need to keep your day job while you do, but once you have built your own practice, it will be worth it.
2. You hate your job--I hated mine. I paid health insurance claims. Constant fighting with slow computers, old-fashioned programs instead of nice new ones made it rough to go to work each day.
3. You want to help people--Sometimes it is great to know that what you do makes a difference in people's lives. Massage therapy can help people in pain. Relaxation massage is also important.
4. Be your own boss--This is the really great part. No one telling you that you have to come into the office even though there was an ice storm and the roads are iced over and you live in Texas so you don't have snow tires. You risk your life for a few bucks for a company who does not care enough to close down until the ice melts....
5. Set your own hours--If you don't want to begin massages at 6am, you don't have to. Or maybe you need the morning off to go to the doctor or have a teacher conference. Work will not allow it without penalizing you. When you set your own hours, just don't schedule a client for the time you need off.
6. Earn money for your bank account and not your employer's pocket!--Stop making your company rich while they make you feel miserable. Put that money in your own pocket. Of course, you will have bills to pay from your business, but the money leftover is yours (and Uncle Sam's, of course.)

With the economic downturn and so many layoffs happening, your job may be in jeopardy. Maybe you have not been enjoying your job. Now is the time to think about a career change. Become a massage therapist, but only if you want to help people and you enjoy being around them.

Have others told you that you have great hands when you give a back rub? Do you enjoy giving shoulder and back rubs? How about foot and leg massages? These are the things that people want and need, especially those who are in pain. People pay big bucks for these services. Massage therapists are in demand in many areas of the country.

If you have no other income, consider keeping your job while you go to school. Study and practice the massage techniques you are taught everyday. Massage school is demanding and difficult. You will study anatomy and physiology. You will learn about every body system plus you will learn the bones and muscles of the body. These are the tools of the trade and you must know them thoroughly.

As a massage therapist, you will meet a variety of people. Some will be in pain. Others will want relaxation massage. You will learn how to help them by giving relaxation massage and therapeutic massage.

When you are finished with massage school, you can start your own business. This will take between one and two years so you may want to either keep your current job for a while or get a job as a massage therapist at a spa for income and lots of practice. Spas will keep you busy and you will get a ton of experience fast. Just be careful that you do not experience burnout by working too much. Try to put your energy into building your own practice on the side. Begin with family, friends, neighbors, church members, and grow your practice through word of mouth advertising from them. Good luck on your new career!

Promote your massage therapy practice to get new clients. No, don't take out an add in the phone book or the newspaper.

Where do most people go these days when looking for information? That's right--the internet. You need a web site! Learn how here.


I use SBI for my web sites. An SBI web site can give you a presence on the web so you will get a ton more business.

Another way to get clients is to give out professional business cards.

Give some complimentary chair massage at fairs, conventions, expos...Give away your business cards and brochures. People will love the free massage and some will become your clients.
