Whether reducing stress, rehabilitating an injury, or loosening muscles, massage therapists specialize in reducing bodily pain by rubbing and manipulating the soft body tissues. Massage therapists work wherever their customers need them:
- offices
- hospitals
- nursing homes
- fitness centers
Many massage therapists manipulate environmental factors such as light level, noise and sound to assist in relaxing their customer. Massage therapists may use various types of massage to relax their patients, such as chair or Swedish, Reiki, Reflexology, and Sports Massage.
