It can be low stress or high stress; it's what you make of it. The good part is, you learn a lot of helpful things along the way that you can share with your clients and also use on yourself to help lower stress levels - like meditation and deep breathing techniques, using essential oils, hydrotherapy techniques, etc. Most massage therapists trade services with each other, so as long as you keep some friends in the business you'll have access to regular massages yourself and that helps a lot.





Where you choose to work will also be a factor in how stressful your job is. A therapist is a big resort spa would be more regularly stressed than one in a locally owned business, for instance. And like in any other career field, some bosses are better than others and some coworkers are better than others.





Overall, compared to a lot of other jobs out there, massage is pretty positive. I've had several dentists and lawyers on my table tell me how much they wish their job was as positive as mine - no one wants to go to the dentist and when they call a lawyer, it's hardly ever with good news. But a massage is something people look forward to and are always happy they're having. I like dealing with happy people.Hi I would like to be a Massage Therapist, Is a Massage Therapist low stress?
No one can say if a career is stressful or not. The stress depends on you, your beliefs about yourself and success and what you love doing. Find a career you love and even if it is challenging it won't feel stressful because you will love it so much that it is worth it.





The outlook really means little. It all really depends on you.





Most massage therapists start their own business so you have to know about business and marketing or be willing to learn and create what you want for your massage business.





You don't work in a low stress environment. You work with people who are stressed, in pain, have awful diseases and conditions. You work in a room by yourself with only the client there in silence for the most part except you have to know how to engage the person in their body and session to get the best results.





You don't get paid much in a job in massage but can make more when you start your own business
Considering you're working in a low stress environment and get paid large amounts of money, I'd say it's fairly low-stress.
yep your your own boss and make good money not good for your hands in the long term tho
