Incorporating Tai Chi in Your Massage Practice

I didn't realize that 2,000-year-old gentle movements could keep my body and mind in shape in my massage practice today. I studied tai chi while attending massage school many years ago. It was a mandatory part of my education at that time. I could not completely understand why or how it could be applied in massage, and found myself not wanting to go to class. However, I now wish I could thank every teacher I gave a hard time to, since I now practice and use the form every day.

Success with Seasonal Marketing

With the busy holiday season right around the corner, now is the perfect time to consider using seasonal marketing to boost your massage practice. Marketing based on seasonal trends or holidays is a creative and effective way to attract new clients and maintain relationships with your current clientele.

What You Need to Know about Continuing Education

As a massage therapist, there is one very good reason to further your professional development with continuing education: You have to. Most licensing or certifying authorities require a certain number of approved continuing education hours in order to stay in compliance with state or local regulations. Although your regulator may require that you further your education, you still decide what courses to take.
