How to Become a Massage Therapist in Tallahassee Florida

Quite often, we're asked what the best way to become a massage therapist is.

Our answer: get educated, get trained and become licensed. Massage therapy, whether practiced here in Tallahassee or elsewhere in the state can be a rewarding career for many people.

In fact, according to Florida-Vocational-Schools.com,

The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects employment in massage therapy to grow by 20% through 2020.  This is faster than the average for all occupations.  This projection is partly based on the growing number of spas that employ a large number of therapists.  Massage clinic franchises have also been increasing in number, making massage more affordable than what is typical at a spa or resort.  This has made massage available to a wider range of customers.

How Much Can a Massage Therapist Earn?

According to Salary.com the median national annual salary for Massage Therapists as of July 2013 was $45,480 (yes, it's now 2017 but that number is a good guide).  However, the top 10 percent employed as massage therapists earn more than $69,000.

**The median annual salaries for select major cities in Florida fall just slightly below the national average as shown above.
