An Interview with a Massage Therapist

This month, we're interviewing Eric Reff of Corporate Chair-man, a licensed massage therapist in Salt Lake City, Utah. We'll be asking him a few questions about his career to provide information for those of you who may be considering it as a career.

TC - How long have you been a massage therapist?
ER - It will be 3 years this August.

TC - Why did you choose to be a massage therapist?
ER - I wanted a 100 day ski season and this career is a real flexible job. It was also an opportunity to re-tool after nearly a decade in a sales based career in the medical devices field. With my knowledge of the healthcare field, I saw the opportunity to join in the growing popularity of "alternative healthcare" and to meet the needs of our aging population with a non medical choice to relieve chronic tension (muscular and skeletal) that also would afford me the opportunity to allow me to build a business and help people out at the same time.
