Male Massage Therapists
From the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP)
Their Question:
Just wanted to share my two cents about being a male massage therapist...
Our Response:
50% of the therapists in our network are men and every single one of them is a master at what he does. If I were to go into a random spa and request a therapist by gender, I would request a male. Why? Because they have to be extremely good to get hired because Clients with a gender preference usually prefer women. Perhaps the only antidote is to propagate the knowledge that the average male therapist is extremely good because if he wasn't he'd have had to switch professions a long time ago.
