Sometimes not knowing about the general attitude toward male massage therapists can be advantageous. Massage therapist Jesse Salmon, of Orlando, Florida, believes he was fortunate no one told him it was difficult for men to make it in massage therapy.
“When I was in school, I don’t recall being told it was going to be tougher for a male massage therapist to succeed,” Salmon said. “I think I was absent that day!
“In fact, that is a blessing in disguise, because I have always gone into any massage therapy situation thinking about my skill set and professionalism rather than thinking about my gender,” he added. “We attract what we focus on. The sooner all male massage therapists see it through that lens, the quicker they will succeed on their own terms.”
