Massage Therapy At A Waterfront Spa

I could successfully operate one of the four franchises without having experience owning a business because a franchise “is generally a proven business model … [and] reduces your risk” (Stricker, 2015, P. 74). Figure 5 demonstrates the four franchises’ market share, revenue, and net worth. Furthermore, I could successfully operate Massage Envy without experience, since Massage Envy has the highest market share and a net worth of $500,000. Although I have no experience in operating a business, “franchisors offer extensive hand-holding” that will allow me to succeed” (“Buying a Business off the Rack”, 2013). Moreover, “name recognition” will allow me to succeed and reduce my risk (Stricker, 2015, P. 74). Also, gaining knowledge by experience and from other franchisors will allow me to succeed.

When I was working at a local spa chain as a Holistic Health Practitioner and Certified Massage Therapist, the management failed to run the spa effectively and ultimately created a high turn over of Massage Therapist. The average Massage Therapist would work for the spa only for a couple months, sometimes less, before leaving to go work for another spa. The owner, district manager and store manager were paying the Massage Therapist differently than our competition. Even though its was the leadership that was forcing the spa in a decline, they thought by changing how everyone got paid hourly, it would prevent a high turn over of their employees.

Stretched tendons, torn muscles, and sprained joints are all things that can be healed by vets or even better equine massage therapists. Equine massage therapy is a unique industry within the horse world. Massage therapists are hired to relax horses after hard performance, and help them recover from any various injury they may acquire. Equine injuries are inevitable; recovering from an injury can be very complicated and costly; however there is an alternative. Massage therapy used as a rehabilitation technique can strengthen the injury to heal correctly without future complications, keep the horses muscles relaxed and operating correctly, and assisting the horse to recover in a natural state with no medications. Healing an injury can take many weeks or even months to accomplish, but with massage therapy the healing can be done very efficiently.

The regulation of the massage therapy in Canada is not uniform. In fact, in most of the provinces and territories, this profession is not regulated. The Massage Therapy is indeed recognized only in three Canadian provinces, in Newfoundland-and-Labrador, Ontario and British Columbia.                                                                                                                                                                                  The massage therapy to Newfoundland and Labrador : In Newfoundland and Labrador, massage therapists must be members of the College of Massage Therapists of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Newfoundland and Labrador Massage Therapists' association to be able to exercise their profession.

In 2005 I graduated from Parsons School of Design with a Bachelors in communication design. Although I enjoyed school, I quickly realized that I was better suited for a career that would channel my passion for wellness and human interaction. A few weeks after graduation I began classes at the New School for Massage in Chicago. What began as a supplemental trade quickly developed into a full-time career as I became invigorated helping others. In recent years I have realized that, while I appreciate the benefits I bring my clients, I wish to do more; a career in exercise science takes wellness to a far greater level than I can achieve through therapeutic massage alone.

I agree that a 15-20 minute presentation would be beneficial. However, that time would most likely be deducted from departmental visits, which has been a problematic way to start this effort. With proper planning and follow through we can achieve above average yield from this effort. We need a culturally relevant strategy that speaks to the needs of incoming students and is also compatible with both the unidisciplinary and interdisciplinary application processes. This is important, so as not to be caught in between messages, and not capitalize on the strengths of both types of programs at Purdue, due to insufficient planning and follow through or just the lack of the requirement of the GRE score.

Many people think that, “a massage is a massage,” but that assumption is far from the truth. There are many types of massage including Swedish massage, Sports massage, Shiatsu, Trager, Reiki, and the Alexander Technique.

I see a trend in many, many Massage Therapists who struggle with their practice. When I say struggle I am not talking about whether or not the MT has a full or empty schedule, I am talking about the one thing that keeps a person going for 5, 10, 20 plus years.
