Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance the function and promote relaxation and well-being. The word comes from the French massage "friction of kneading", or from Arabic massa meaning "to touch, feel or handle" or from Latin massa meaning "mass, dough". In distinction the ancient Greek word for massage was anatripsis, and the Latin was frictio. Massage involves acting on and manipulating the body with pressure – structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving – tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, and feet. There are over eighty different recognized massage modalities. The most cited reasons for introducing massage as therapy have been client demand and perceived clinical effectiveness. In professional settings massage involves the client being treated while lying on a massage table, sitting in a massage chair, or lying on a mat on the floor. The massage subject may be fully or partly unclothed. Parts of the body may be covered with towels or sheets. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I am becoming a massage therapist. When I begin working how can I make the most money? Should I rent out a room or work directly for a company and get paid through them? Or some other way I might not know about. Thanks for the advice in advance. Asked by Alia - Thu Feb 12 14:24:09 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It depends on the scenario. If you go out on your own, the main issue is going to be your overhead. If you have enough of a clientele that you've picked up along the way you should be fine, but you will be paying out quite a bit. I considered it, but knew that I wouldn't be making enough money to survive. If you work for someone else (as I have chosen to do), you won't be making as much an hour, but you won't have to pay out for bills, supplies, insurance, etc. All I can say is that you should consider all your options and figure out what way works best and makes the most sense for you.
