Career Outlook
Recent research by the NEMJ suggests that 75 million Americans use massage therapists every year. This represents one fifth of the total usage of alterative therapies. Massage therapy is very much a growing industry, with massage therapy job growth to match. According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), the number of massage therapists has risen dramatically in the last few years. Current massage therapy job statistics in the US are estimated to be between 260,000 and 290,000.

There are several reasons for massage therapy job growth. There has been a great increase of public acceptance of massage therapy as a viable alternative to, or complement of, traditional medical treatment. Massage is being used in many different areas of health - both in a preventative and palliative capacity.

There has been dramatic massage therapy job growth in corporate healthcare. Many large corporations are now employing or contracting massage therapists to help take care of their staff. Massage therapists can assist employees with stress reduction, rehabilitation from injury and illness, fitness and relaxation. This hands on approach can save companies millions - and goes a long way in explaining the tremendous jump in massage therapy job statistics.

All of this means good news and a bright future for licensed massage therapists. With the number and range of massage therapy courses growing all of the time, there is a range of options to start you on the road to a lucrative - and incredibly worthwhile, career in massage therapy. With conventional medicine turning more and more to alternative therapies, it seems likely that massage therapy job growth is set to continue for a long time to come.
