A masseuse is a massage therapist. They treat their clients using touch and pressure to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Their job is to relieve pain, help rehabilitate injuries, improve circulation, relieve stress, increase relaxation, and aid in the general health of their clients. They work in a variety of settings that may be either private or public. Some even travel to their clients' homes or offices to give a massage.
To become a massage therapist, you must complete a postsecondary education program of 500 or more hours of study and experience, although the guidelines may vary by state. Most states require masseuses to have a license or certification to practice massage therapy. The median pay for a masseuse is $35,970 and the job outlook looks pretty good; the employment of massage therapists is expected to grow 23% by 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations.
