Massage Therapy Business Success: Foundations

Running a massage therapy business is a wonderful way to make a living. But, it can be difficult and frustrating. It is not enough simply to open up for business. It does not matter if you are the most technically gifted massage therapist around. Being proficient in the art of massage therapy is not enough. If you have not thought through the business side of your practice, you will eventually fail. You have to have a plan for advertising, marketing, customer satisfaction, and more. The business training you received in your massage therapy school may not be enough to achieve success.


Where can you find the information you need to make your massage therapy business a success? Well, there are sources on the internet (just like this website) that will share some valuable information. We plan to give you a number of useful tips, so stay tuned. But, to put your massage therapy business on a solid foundation and then take it to the next level, you really need a source of comprehensive, organized information.

It may sound “old school” but you need reference materials that you can pull out and read whenever you need it. What you must learn in order to succeed is not particularly difficult to understand. But, it can be difficult to organize on your own. So, go out and look around. Find the reference works you need. Perhaps, you can find them at your local library.

Another source you should consider is the work of Michael Humphreys.  He claims to provide a "complete A to Z"  massage therapy business building system that you can start using immediately, with very little expense.  His information may be the foundation for your own massage therapy business success.
