The Role of the Massage Therapist
Professionals who provide massages to patients are called massage therapists. They work in a variety of settings, from office locations to house calls and workplace visits.
If you are considering massage therapy, chose a licensed and trained practitioner. Your healthcare provider should be able to refer one to you. And in some cases, conventional medical professionals might also be licensed to perform massage therapy.
Most therapists attend a school or training program and, as stated, a fair number of massage therapists also practice medicine in another capacity, such as a nurse. Study typically covers subjects such as anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, therapeutic evaluation, massage techniques, first aid, legal issues, and hands-on practice.
