What is the job outlook for a Nurse Therapist?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Both Chiropractors and PTs usually have massage therapists in their offices. The job outlook is pretty good as more and more people are using complementary therapies, and massage is one of the more popular ones. Your success depends on your skill as a therapist and your business savvy...and location!
