Read on to learn about some of the key benefits of becoming a Registered Massage Therapist.
Professional Satisfaction and Rewarding Work
Think back to the last time you had a massage, and how great it felt during and after the treatment. Now, imagine being the massage therapist to make others feel that way. As a massage therapist there is the opportunity to make a significant impact on your patients’ health. Whether it’s relieving pain, aiding with rehabilitation, reducing stress, or improving overall physical function, the results of massage treatments provide real, positive changes for your patients, which makes this profession extremely rewarding.
Work Environment Flexibility
Becoming an RMT offers a significant variety of working environments. Interested in working in a healthcare facility? For a sports team? On a cruise? A heli-ski company? All of these are possible with this dynamic profession. Not to mention the options of being an employee or being self-employed and choosing your own hours. The work-life balance of being an RMT can be as flexible as you need it to be.
Stay Active at Work
Never be desk-bound again! Massage Therapy treatments require the therapist to be on their feet, engaging the whole body to work effectively. The goal may be to improve patients’ health but undertaking this role will also encourage the therapist to remain physically active and prioritise self-care.

Due to the active lifestyle of the population and growing awareness of the health benefits massage therapy can provide, RMTs have become extremely popular. In BC, RMTs can earn between $100 and $130 an hour depending on location and with massage therapy being covered by many extended health benefits, finding a client base isn’t often a problem!
