i’ve been a massage therapist for 4 years now and it was the best career move I have ever made, Its an extremely satisfying job, you get to really make people feel better physically and mentally, its unbelievably rewarding. As far as the best place to be employed that you will figure out as you go through school, there are so many opportunities, you could be self employed and work for you self, although this is the hardest route to go as far as money, marketing and it can get lonely, spas are another, good money, often have benefits, vacation pay, 401k, alot of bodies to work on so you get really good palpation skills, downside is you can get burnt out. hospitals, rehab, chiropractors, there are many ways to go, all I know is I’ve never been happier to go to work

Finnegan SmallBallWeightBearingExercises – Finnegan is balanced by Leann, canine rehab therapist, and a trainee, on an exercise ball which serves two purposes; it stretches out his hips and gently helps him bear weight on his hind legs to improve his mobility and range of motion and decrease the chance he will tear a muscle or injure his knee while recovering from his surgery. This video was shot approximately six weeks post op. All dogs must first have heat applied to their hips, and have their hind legs moved gently through their normal range of motion before being placed on the small balance ball. In other words, don’t try this at home unless you have been trained the proper sequence of rehab treatments and procedures.
