I'm getting a $65.00 hour maternity massage today, what's an appropriate tip?How much should you tip a massage therapist? Is there a standard?
It depends on if they are licensed or not. If they are an ';adult massage therapist'; than a lot lol I am joking the appropriate tip is 15 to 20% if they do a good job if they don't I wouldn't give anything.How much should you tip a massage therapist? Is there a standard?
I think you should absolutely tip a massage therapist, just as you would a hairdresser or manicurist! I tip 20% for any ';personal services'; such as massage, hair, nails. Standard tipping runs anywhere from 10%-20%.
why should will be massage therapy
NO TIP . I NEVER HEARD OF SUCH.
I would (do) tip $10.00 for that service. Relax and drink lots of water afterwards. Congratulations on taking good care of yourself.

What are the differences between an Osteopath, a Chiropractor, a Physiotherapist and a massage therapist?
And which one would you prefer to use and why?What are the differences between an Osteopath, a Chiropractor, a Physiotherapist and a massage therapist?
Osteopaths also are general physicians but consider both mental and physical requirements during the treatment. Mostly for children.
Chiropractors treat patients for their muscular and nervous systems.
Major areas attended by Physio-therapists:
Muscloskeletal, cardiopulmonary, integumentary and nuerological.

VRWhat are the differences between an Osteopath, a Chiropractor, a Physiotherapist and a massage therapist?
The biggest differences are on education and scope of practice.
Massage Therapists go to school in a community college and learn their trade.
Physiotherapists go to University to learn their trade
Chiropractors and Osteopaths go to private colleges to learn their trade and Osteopaths spend more time in school. When they are done, they are considered on a par with an MD and can prescribe drugs and treatments at physiotherapist etc.
Massage therapists dont do adjustments where the others can. Physical therapists have to go for extensive training before they are allowed to do manipulation of joints.

My doctor sent me to a massage therapist and at my last visit she mentioned that she was having trouble...?
getting oil stains to come out of her sheets. She has tried a special detergent for that purpose, but it did not work well. Can you help? Do you know how to remove oil stains from cloth? Thanks !My doctor sent me to a massage therapist and at my last visit she mentioned that she was having trouble...?
Soak the sheets in the washer with a double scoop of Biz and then wash or use one of the newer oxygen powders. Ammonia is too harsh for this application.
There are also extremely effective commercial laundry products for restaurants and hotels but they come in 25-50 lb containers. This would be an option depending on her volume.My doctor sent me to a massage therapist and at my last visit she mentioned that she was having trouble...?
Wow! Old oil stains are tough! Since they've been thru a dryer, it may be impossible.
Try sponging spot with 1 Tb. salt to 4 Tbs rubbing alcohol. Wash in hot water. Let air dry. If still present, try pretreating with shampoo. If that doesn't work then it's dry cleaner time. Even then dry cleaning may not work after a period of time.

Dawn dish washing detergent is the best thing that I have found to get oil out of everything. Per spot before washing.

Massage Therapist Business - Where Can I Get Started With A Business Plan That Works?
I'm looking to start a massage therapist business and need a proper plan of action to make this possible. Where can I look for guides and resources? I really need something very precise and current that's proven to work.Massage Therapist Business - Where Can I Get Started With A Business Plan That Works?
Take a look at 'How To Make a Lucrative Living as a Massage Therapist' by Kalac Burke. It's an A-Z guide that will get you started with massage techniques, business decisions, location, value addition and more, besides giving you a very definite business plan. My sister-in-law is a professional massage therapist (12 years) and I've learned a lot from watching her groom new people get a step in this business. Hope this helps... Good luck!

Can a qualified massage therapist practice other massage therapies like hot stone massage?
Aimee, I was just wondering, I am a fully qualified massage therapist and reflexologist and I have some infomration on 1 and 2 day workshops in hot stone massage therapy, indian hopi candle and thai massage. If I undertook these workshops would that sufficient to practice, where did you train?Can a qualified massage therapist practice other massage therapies like hot stone massage?
You don't even have to attend the workshops to legally practice various modalities. You can read a book on the treatment, watch a video or have the treatment done and have the therapist explain it to you. I would however be very cautious about starting ANY new treatment, even if you attend a workshop. Make sure you understand the procedure and I'd suggest practicing on either yourself or a friend before offering services to the public. As long as you're a certified massage therapist, you can do any modality.microdermabrasion treatment

What interview questions would they generally do to a massage therapist?
I have been a massage therapist for 8 years and I can say in my experience the biggest thing is the massage you give to your interviewer.
Beyond that, a chiropractor may ask you about locations of muscles, or how to treat a muscle in spasm, or about different medical conditions, and which ones you can work with and which ones you shouldn't.
A spa will probably ask you more about your availability to make sure you'll show up for your appointments.
But the BIGGEST thing is the massage you give, like an audition.

Hi I would like to be a Massage Therapist, Is a Massage Therapist low stress?
I would like to become a Massage Therapist, But i also want something that has a good outlook and is low stress because stress isn't worth it. Is a Massage Therapist Low stress? Thanks.Hi I would like to be a Massage Therapist, Is a Massage Therapist low stress?
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
