🙌🏽 The massage industry is growing as more and more research proves massage therapy is an essential part of healthcare!
A Licensed Massage Therapist is properly trained on how to:
✨️ safely manipulate soft tissue without injuring someone or making pain worse
✨️ recognize contraindications like blood clots, surgical hardware, and acute injuries
✨️ work with the nervous system without overstimulating it
✨️ modify techniques for medical conditions, chronic pain and artificial joints
✨️ handle emotional or trauma releases professionally
✨️ understand anatomy, pathology, and when not to treat
Turning the lights down, putting on a relaxation playlist, and using random modalities doesn’t magically make it bodywork 🙃
As a Licensed Massage Therapist, being trusted to professionally work with soft tissue, joints, nerves, circulation, and the nervous system is more than just the license..it is an honor 🫶🏼
