One of the most attractive aspects of becoming a professional massage therapist is the versatility it offers, including the choice of either full-time or part-time employment. While many graduates choose to work in their own businesses, as a private practioner, the majority seek more structured employment situations typically offered by day spas, health clubs, hospitals, retirement centers and doctors' offices.
While the massage industry has it's roots in what is often referred to as "relaxation" massage, the type typically associated with spas, resorts and cruise ships, today's massage therapist has a much broader scope of practice, which may include pain management, injury rehabilitation, post-operative recovery, athletic performance enhancement and general health and wellness.
Today, MTTI-WellSpring graduates are active both in private practice, and more-structured employment situations, including health clubs, hospitals, chiropractic offices, day spas, wellness centers, beauty salons, physical therapy rehabilitation centers, retirement homes, sports teams, and so on. Graduates typically earn between $28-$70 for a one-hour session, depending on the employment structure.
Because MTTI-WellSpring is highly regarded in the community, we always have open job orders from potential employers looking to hire our graduates. MTTI-WellSpring's career services team works with each student to help them discover the work situation that best meets their needs, and then we connect them with employers in the area. While most of our graduates find employment soon after graduation, employment success rests largely with the individual student, and is never guaranteed.
