Massage therapy and hydrotherapy, traditional natural therapies, are two of the oldest and simplest forms of medicine. Recent research has validated a lengthy list of benefits produced by massage on the physical, mental and emotional levels. Ongoing research on the benefits and applications of massage therapy is rapidly expanding the field, offering new job opportunities, and even mainstreaming the use of massage in medicine. There are nearly unlimited career opportunities for therapeutic massage. Areas of employment include preventive health care, health maintenance, hospital care, hospice care, rehabilitation, athletics, personal development, and life-style education. Employment opportunities include creating your own private practice or employment with other health care providers such as doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, health clubs, pain clinics, spas, lifestyle centers, or overseas missionary centers.
