What Does a Massage Therapist Do?
A massage therapist helps a client achieve general wellbeing by using therapeutic massage on the joints and soft tissues. They aid in the alleviation of pain, the rehabilitation of injuries, the improvement of poor circulation, the teaching of relaxation skills, and the reduction of stress through massage therapy. They decide a client’s therapy by gathering medical information as well as pain or stress issues. Based on the information gathered, they devise a plan of action to help in the healing of the injury or problem location, and they maintain track of any progress and changes to the massage therapy treatment.
He or she would use his or her hands and fingers to apply pressure on certain parts of the body. They assess a patient’s muscular strength, function, and joint ability, as well as their range of motion and soft tissue condition, in order to provide them with information and advice on treatments. This includes stretching, restorative exercises, posture improvement, and relaxation.
To help in a patient’s effective therapy, a massage therapist might contact other health care specialists such as chiropractors, doctors, psychologists, or physiotherapists If necessary, they will recommend the client to a specialist. Balance beams or boards, rockers, bolsters, and hydrotherapy equipment, such as baths or tanks, are used to help in rehabilitation. They employ permanent and movable treatment tables, as well as mats, heat lamps, massage stone sets, cold and hot packs, and other items.
How Long Does It Take to Become a Massage Therapist?
An associate’s degree with class work in physiology, anatomy, pathology, ethics, and body and motion dynamics is normally desired to become a massage therapist. You must obtain a certification and be recognized in your state of practice after completing 500 hours of hands-on massage therapy instruction.
