Build Your Reputation Among Prospective Massage Customers

Whether you’re just starting as a massage therapist or want to expand your business with further offerings, it’s necessary to stay updated on the latest developments in therapeutic massages. Clients want to know that their therapist keeps up with trends.

Many people research businesses before giving their support. If their research finds you perform only a few outdated massage techniques, they may not be as likely to come to you. On the other hand, if a client sees a freshly updated skill set, newer massage methods, and recent certifications, they may be more attracted to your services.

Specialized Massage Therapy Treatments

Massage therapy is not a one-size-fits-all service. Different clients will require unique types of massage. There are many styles of massages that you may conduct, either on their own or in conjunction with another treatment. If you just offer one or two types of massage, you may be losing clients to other massage therapists who specialize in those in-demand approaches.

 However, if you invest in massage continuing education, you will gain knowledge in these specialty areas and may be able to offer them at your spa. Consider becoming specialized in a skill that few other massage therapists in your region offer, as this may help you stand out to potential customers.

HICI Go offers a wide variety of continuing education massage courses that may help you expand your offerings. These courses include:

  • Prenatal Massage: Teaches students how to properly perform massages on pregnant women and the appropriate changes that need to be made
  • Hot Stone Massage: Instructs students on adding hot stones to their massages to relieve tension and pain
  • “No Thumbs” Deep Tissue Massage: Trains in techniques to perform deep massages without injuring yourself or the client
  • Wood Therapy Myofascial Massage: Shows students how to use a combination of physical massage therapy and wooden massage tools to improve lymph flow 
  • Warm Bamboo Massage: Teaches students to use warmed bamboo sticks during massage to enhance circulation and decrease stiffness

HICI Go also delivers specialized courses that you can take to add to your massage services, such as facial and abdominal cupping, and raindrop therapy. Adding any of these specialized courses to your already solid foundation can help your business grow in ways you may not be able to otherwise.

Wider Massage Client Base

Another benefit to growing your massage repertoire is the accompanying larger client base. While having specialized skills and services will allow you to attract more clients, it also expands your audience to include new types of customers. When you offer in-demand high-quality massage services, you will have loyal repeat customers as well as new customers who can’t find the services they need elsewhere.
