Tips for self-employment with mobile massage service or with massage practice

Self-employed with your own massage practice: What you need to pay attention to!

The self-employment is the dream of many trained masseurs and masseuses. With the opening of your own massage practice, you can finally bring in all your knowledge and skills and realize your own ideas better than would ever be possible in an employment relationship. Nevertheless, the decision must be carefully considered. Keep in mind that you will only earn money if clients use your services. For some, the security of employment may be better. You should also be clear about whether you prefer a mobile or a stationary massage practice. In both cases, the financial prerequisites must first be met. Once the finances are clarified, you can plan the equipment. The MASSAGELIEGENHAUS is your professional contact for first-class massage tables, chairs, and accessories. We are happy to provide you with detailed advice.

Challenge and satisfaction: self-employed as a masseur*in

No matter if mobile or stationary, to enjoy your self-employment for a long time, you must not neglect your personal needs.

1. Take your own health seriously

Even if you practice this profession for the benefit of others, you must not forget your own well-being. Only if you are healthy yourself can you ultimately offer successful massages. Therefore, activate mindfulness and self-care. Only then is it possible to pass care on to others.

2. Don't bend yourself

In the initial excitement of new professional perspectives, do not forget to remain yourself. Clients who come to you choose you primarily because of your personality and charisma; your professional skills and the equipment of the massage practice come second.

3. Plan correctly

Successful self-employment only succeeds with consistent preparation. Prepare for each treatment as well as possible so that you can fully engage with the client during the massage. If you are mentally distracted, the massage cannot succeed.

Setting up the practice professionally

A nicely furnished practice significantly contributes to the comfort of clients and yourself. Invest in good equipment with a long lifespan. It is a truism: those who buy cheap often buy twice. The same applies to the mobile massage service. Use stable, mobile folding tables with good padding and only use high-quality accessories. You can find everything for your practice supplies in the range of MASSAGELIEGENHAUS. Take your time to browse our online offerings.

Folding or stationary massage table?

The center of the massage practice is the table. It is usually also the largest investment. Before making your purchase decision, you should consider whether you will only perform massages or need the table for other applications. If you need the table all day and also carry out numerous rehabilitation measures, the stationary massage table is the best choice. It stands stable on the ground and can be adjusted in height as well as at the head and foot ends, depending on the model. With a mobile, folding massage table, you are very flexible and can conveniently visit your clients at home. Therefore, it is especially suitable for the mobile massage service. The folding massage tables from MASSAGELIEGENHAUS are made of high-quality maple and impress with their luxurious padding in many attractive colors. They are ideal for professional use, made from environmentally friendly materials, and are very durable. Another alternative for the mobile practice is massage chairs, which are smaller and more flexible than tables. An important parameter when buying a massage table is its height adjustability. The load capacity also plays a significant role, especially in times when the population is becoming increasingly robust. A massage table should withstand at least 200 kg of load.

Advantages of mobile therapy tables

Many masseurs*in operate stationary massage practices, where clients come to them. In contrast, the mobile massage practice brings therapy directly to the client at home, who wants to indulge in a wellness break without much effort. The mobile massage practice also offers advantages for masseurs*in, as they save the often expensive rent for practice rooms. As a service provider, you are significantly more flexible and also have the opportunity to massage at workplaces or corporate events. This provides company employees with a welcome break from the stressful workday and a convenient on-site service. Knowing how important health is in the workplace, more and more companies today also offer massages to their employees. Especially in cases of acute tension, the mobile massage is ideal. No matter where the massage is ultimately performed, it is professional, always brings relaxation and well-being. With this high-quality table, you can start as a mobile masseur*in right away.

Advantages of stationary massage tables

Stationary therapy tables are durable, very functional, and a visual as well as technical delight. Even if patient health comes first, they offer clients first-class wellness experiences. To ensure that they feel truly comfortable, therapy tables are very comfortably equipped. Tables and the skills of the masseur*in ideally form a unit. Our stationary massage tables support your daily work and significantly contribute to treatment success. They are technically advanced and also impress in design. Choose between tables with different functions, various adjustable segments, and covers in attractive colors. Most can be height-adjusted as desired using a foot pedal and can be positioned anywhere in the room thanks to wheels.
