I was born w/o a lot of the required mucsles in my arms, so my back mucsles have done overtime all my life and are quite worn out. The doctor recommends that I have regular massage therapy. I have found, after a particularily intense session that a 20 minute soak, up to my chin, in 2 cups of epsom salts and hot water bath does wonders and helps to get the toxins out that have been roused by the massage...as well as drinking lots of water. :0)

well, i'm actually both a eilenscd esthetician and a certified massage therapist. i really enojy both but honestly i have to give the one up to massage. here are my reasons:skin care is a great field and you can get very busy but waxing is the bread and butter of it. and sometimes makeup if you're good at it. i love doing facials because it's very relaxing, but they aren't as popular as many think. most people don't like having their face touched or they don't see a purpose for it. waxing is ok, but you really need to work hard to make money. waxing services aren't as expensive so you need to build a large client base and learn to speed wax to make money.massage therapy is so diverse and relaxing. i can perform 6-8 massages a day and never feel tired or sore. in fact, i feel energized at the end of a long day. more people enjoy recieving massages and because there are no laws that prohibit a therapist from working at home, this is a great way to make extra money (unlike skin care, it is illegal to practice outside of a eilenscd clinic or spa). i was able to start my own gym based massage clinic and have been very successful at it.but it all depends on you. those are just my opinions, but it would a good idea to visit school clinics and get a service (since they are cheaper and you can also see if the school is clean). ask the student tech how they like skin care /massage and also if they like the school. ask them to give you one thing they like most and one thing they like least about the industry and the school. this should help you to decide which field you may prefer and what school will be best for you.hope this helps and good luck!!!
