Dien,

Massage isn't alternative 'medicine', yet
massage is the oldest form of physical therapy so maybe this post fits the subject ok.

Many chiropractors typically employ massage therapists to help relax the neck and back muscles which makes an adjustment last longer.
So the benefit of massage therapists is recognized among these alternative medical healers.

But, now even corporations are realizing the benefit of having massage therapists on their premises.

Offering massage therapy services to corporations could be a good business to get into even if you aren't a trained and state registered massage therapist.

You simply market the services of massage therapists that you sub-contract to actually go out and do the on site therapy for your corporate clients that you go into negotiated 'service' contracts with.

Medium size businesses are thought to be the best market to target.

Your job as the owner of the 'service' is to educate the corporate decision maker on the benefits and sell them on the concept for chair massage for their employees and then to get a signature on the contract for the services.

Massage helps productivity, morale, workplace related pain issues... and to reduce stress associated with the workplace.

Below is an article link that explains how one person successfully entered this alternative health service business. But again, one doesn't have to be a therapist in order to have a business that sells the services of therapists.

Through a professional journal I have subscribed to, I have read about people all over who are making nice sums of money by setting up these kind of corporate massage therapy services by using sub-contracted therapists.

Another website that is actually selling massage therapy services to business is : http://www.minutemassage.net

Link at bottom of this post gives basic information on how to structure the charges to the corporations and an idea of what to pay your sub-contractor massage therapists.

Your profits - determined by how many therapists you have working for you - could be considerable.

The interest is growing for chair massage since a good therapist can relieve neck and shoulder pain in a very short session and the employee is only away from their desk for 5 or 10 minutes usually.

Just something to think about...
