Careers in Massage

Create Your Career

Strategic in successful stress management, injury rehabilitation, top athletic performance, and wholesome rejuvenation, massage has been an essential part of any comprehensive approach to health and well-being. Realization by Americans of the role massage has long had in health care continues to grow. As a result, the demand for skilled therapists increases daily.

Several key trends have been identified that are influencing the dramatic growth in the massage therapy profession nationwide. Along with an increasing acceptance of massage therapy by healthcare providers, the inclusion of massage skills in medical clinics for effective pain management and injury rehabilitation has broadened the field. Also, as Americans age, they are increasingly trying massage therapy as part of a healthy lifestyle. Finally, as the spa business continues to grow, the demand for skilled massage therapists expand.

At NIM we speak of “creating a career” because our graduates do just that. Thoroughly prepared and confident in their training, they choose a setting (spas, hospitals, clinics, sports teams, private practices, on-site, businesses), a target client population (pregnancy, infancy, parents, athletes, businessmen athletes, geriatric), and a focus (relaxation, pain management, treatment of disease, athletic performance, holistic health), to express their talents and vision. Limited only by their inspiration, they proffer their rare skills.
