100% Q: Can a qualified massage therapist practice other massage therapies like hot stone massage?

Aimee, I was just wondering, I am a fully qualified massage therapist and reflexologist and I have some infomration on 1 and 2 day workshops in hot stone massage therapy, indian hopi candle and thai massage. If I undertook these workshops would that sufficient to practice, where did you train?

A:You don't even have to attend the workshops to legally practice various modalities. You can read a book on the treatment, watch a video or have the treatment done and have the therapist explain it to you. I would however be very cautious about starting ANY new treatment, even if you attend a workshop. Make sure you understand the procedure and I'd suggest practicing on either yourself or a friend before offering services to the public. As long as you're a certified massage therapist, you can do any modality.

100% Q: Massage jobs in Las Vegas?

I am moving to las vegas around January and I am looking into massage jobs. I am hoping that some massage therapists in the area that could give me some better ideas of the industry there. What can I expect to be making? Are there any companies to NOT work for. Any companies that you would recommend I apply with. Are jobs at the resorts on the strip good (pay well, treat their employees well, not incredibly hard to get into). I will be graduating in December from a 780 hour accreditted massage school in MN. I will be trained in relaxation and trigger point only by January, however I plan on taking hot stone massage within a few months of graduating. I am planning on taking my National cert. right away. Any advice would be apprectiated! Thanks in advance!

A:There are LOTS of massage places in Vegas - probably some that you would NOT want to work with (if you look in the phone book, a lot of the adverts have "Strictly non-sexual" to differentiate them from the less reputable places). Many of the casino resorts (Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, Red Rock Station, Green Valley Station, etc.) have spas that may hire a licensed MT. Also - there is a company called "Massage Envy" that seems to hire a lot of MTs.
