Career prospects

With the acceleration of China's reform and opening up, with the improvement of people's material living standards and health care awareness, people are no longer satisfied with massage as a treatment method. All kinds of people put forward the requirements of health massage from different angles, and the demand for health massage in society has risen sharply, which is in line with this.

In addition to professional massage center work, leisure places, sanatoriums, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and other welfare institutions have also set up health massage services, and some hospitals have begun to increase health massage programs. Therefore, the prospect of masseurs is very broad.

The path of development

At present, the national health massage market is mixed, with 900,000 employees, but only more than 90,000 people are certified in health care massage therapist. According to the budget of the national labor department and related parties, China needs about 5 professional health care massage therapist for every 1000 people, and 8 million health care massage therapist, especially middle and senior masseurs.
