Deep Tissue Massage Vs Sports Massage
Comments (0) Massage Therapy vs Certified Nursing Assistant?
I’m a 20 year old male. Strong hands and a strong sense of altruism are some of my features.
Ive thought about becoming a massage therapist through a local program taught by Memorial Hermann. After learning the main program, I would also build on my knowledge by taking additional training offered through the same organization in sports massage, Cryostreych/Cryokinetic Therapy, deep tissue and chair massage.
However, being male, I am sure finding steady employment will be a challenge.
This then brings me to the occupation of Certified nursing assistant. More demand, and steadier employment, but less money, I think.
Which one would be a good choice?
Thanks.
You can do both.
The Massage training will take longer.
You can consider Sports Medicine as a male –work on Athletes that require more strength in massage and other modalities–could be w/ a Sports clinic or a team or a school program–College.
Later you could also teach.
The training for a Certified Nursing Assistant–CNA–is about 6-8 weeks. As a male you are good for the heavy duty work of many patients, Nursing homes employ many male CNAs. There is also Assisted Living Communities that don’t require CNA certification yet. They train you as a Care Manager and you do many of the same duties.
You are right, the pay is much less but more dependable hours. The work is also not easy but rewarding however
You could work part-time as a Massage therapist and full-time as a CNA or the reverse. You would get a steady income as well as gravy money for the other job and do good at the same time.
Also consider a Chiropractor as a place to work, many use them as part of a treatment plan.
Best wishes
