One of the greatest benefits of being a massage therapist is knowing that you are helping others heal their bodies and reduce the stress in their lives. It is a great feeling knowing that you are giving someone a better quality of life. There are many other benefits that come with being a massage therapist including career specific training, strong job lookout, and the ability to practice massage therapy on your terms.
Massage Training
Most college programs require taking many classes that are not related to the career path you may be pursuing. This can make education longer and more expensive. With massage therapy, the program is designed with the career in mind. Renaissance College-Massage Program’s massage therapy program can be completed in less than a couple of months, allowing anyone to start their career in massage therapy and get licensed in less time than it would take to get an associate degree at most colleges.
We offer an integrated, holistic education with more than 34 courses in massage modalities as well as our renowned Integrative Cranial Sacral course. At Renaissance College-Massage Program we prepare our students to meet the demands of the public who are seeking natural healing.
Job Outlook
The job outlook is great for massage therapy. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for massage therapist is expected to grow by 20 percent from 2010 to 2020. This is a faster pace than the average occupation. With continued growth, there will be many new openings for new massage therapists making a licensed massage therapist very employable.
