Could i do this??


Question: I was wondering if when i am older, if (a) it would be safe to work from home doing massage and inviting strangers into the home. (b) if i could alternatively rent a room in a clinic or somewhere but only use it when i need to, not everyday, is that possible or would i need to use it everyday, or just when i need to? How much would it cost, would it be safer than doing therapies at home? its only cos i intend to be a mobile therapist but if people want to come to me i would need to know the best and safest place they could come to.
Answers: Home is good for the tax right off. Get a security system with a panic feature build in just incase you need it. The money you spend will more and likely come back to you in your taxes.

If you rent space at a clinic, check to see if they will let you sub-let out for the days you do not require the use of it.
There is even the chance that you could make enough to pay the rental cost for the days that you do use it.
For the safety and cost that varies depending on your needs, where you live, and the type of serves you want.
If you want to do massages at home if you have a room that you could close off by drywalling it and have a separate entrance that might be the way to go.
You don't say if you are a licensed massage therapist or not. You of course would need that first if you are going to do massage at home or anywhere.

You can make it safe to work out of your home by only taking referrals from people you know, setting up a separate entrance or even like turning your garage into a massage office or setting up a yurt in your backyard to have a separate building even.

You could also rent office space and set it up anyway you want.

It is safer and more professional to have an office set up specifically for massage whether in your home or in an outside office setting.
You could do it either way. Being alone with a client, whether in your home or theirs is always a risk. If you work for a home care company, they will have done some screening of clients and there will be a reporting procedure should a client abuse you. Another risk is the client accusing you of sexual assualt. It is always better to have another person present during treatment -- this makes clinics or having a receptionist in your home office a safer choice.

Some medical clinics, chiropractors, physiotherapy clinics etc will rent space to independant contractors on a day by day basis or will contract with you to provide services for a set number of days per month. These are all business arrangements that need to be worked out one to one once you are licensed and ready to start work.

In your last term of training, start to visit prospective employers and providers of rental space to discover what the fees, rents etc would be in your community. You will need to have your lawyer and accountant review any leases or employment agreements.

Most trainging programs for massage therapy will include at least one course on practice management with in depth discussion of the issues you have raised.
If u have the technique, u can provide home services. U can also go for value addition by learning the acupressure.
