Massage Therapy Training

Ancient Field of Massage Therapy Undergoes New Growth Spurt

Unlike massages given solely for relaxation, massage therapy refers specifically to massages given by trained professionals that benefit a client's medical health.

The increased popularity of massage therapy in recent years belies the fact that it has been around since 400 B.C., when Greek physician Hippocrates first documented the medical benefits of "friction."

What Does Massage Therapy Training Involve?
Most states have laws regulating massage therapy, including formal training and passing an examination. The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) has an exam that covers six areas:

• The body systems
• Anatomy, physiology and kinesiology
• Pathology
• Therapeutic massage assessment
• Therapeutic massage application
• Professional standards, ethics, business, and legal practices

There are over 80 types of massage techniques you can learn, known as modalities. These include Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, reflexology, and acupressure. Massage therapists generally specialize in several modalities. The type used depends upon the client's needs. For instance, an elderly client would receive a different massage than a professional athlete.

Even in states with no formal requirements, massage therapists should undergo some training to prevent common injuries to themselves caused by improper techniques, such as repetitive motion problems or fatigue due to standing for extended periods.

Massage Therapist Working Conditions
A full-time week usually involves no more than 15 to 30 hours of massages. And while self-employed massage therapists with several regular clients often earn the most money, in truth massage therapists can work anywhere, including:

• Private offices
• Hospitals
• Nursing homes
• Fitness centers
• Sports facilities
• Spas
• Hotels
• Shopping malls

Many therapists divide their time among different settings.

Increased interest in holistic medicine and healthcare providers recognizing the legitimate treatment benefits of massage therapy contribute to the expectations that this field will grow faster than the national average for all occupations through 2014, leading to excellent opportunities for certified massage therapists across the county.

PML Holdings Group was founded in 1985. Its member leasing companies include Planmarc Leasing Company; PML Enterprises, Inc.; PML Employment Services, Inc.; PML Resources, Inc. and Preferred Missouri Leasing, Inc. In all the years that PML has been servicing clients, it has NEVER lost a client due to dissatisfaction with services or costs.

Since the inception of the PML family of leasing companies, PML has purposely elected to grow slowly, but consistently. PML's philosophy is somewhat different than most companies involved in this field; it is PML's goal to continue slow, but stable growth in order to continue its unique, "personalized" service, and, to control the costs that normally increase as size increases.

PML offers "top of the line" benefits packages with a number of health insurance options, complete payroll services, personalized reporting, administrative services, plus, PML works closely WITH our clients in keeping costs down for the leasing company AND our clients. Within the past few years PML has added employee paid 401(k) and Premium Savings (Section 125) for payroll deduction for dental, vision and life insurance.

PML maintains a "minimal" administrative, sales and marketing staff in order to keep overall costs down, and in turn, "lease costs" to their clients has remained consistently lower than their major national competitors, without services being affected.

Using a PML Holdings Group member service company makes employee leasing a cost-effective convenience for any small business owner. The reductions in cost are made possible through volume discounts by pooling your company's employees together with PML's for worker's compensation, health, dental, vision and life insurance benefits, state taxes, S.U.T.A. taxes, federal taxes, etc. PML clients' paperwork hassle and time consuming follow up are reduced, and sometimes eliminated, because PML does the work for them. All payroll related taxes, filings and reports are also handled by PML, leaving the business owner free to take care of the things he or she went into business for... Making A Profit! And remember, PML takes care of most of the human resource paperwork, thereby allowing the owner to reduce, or possibly eliminate human resource staffing, adding up to more savings!

Take a few moments to browse our site and see why using a PEO or Employee Leasing Company is not only a GREAT idea, but usually costs NO MORE than you are already spending!
