Qualities that makes you a Good Massage Therapist?

by Ido

* The ability to detach emotionally enough to get the job done without appearing "cold".

* Adaptable--can't be thrown off by being busy, short on supplies, equipment that doesn't work, grumpy co-workers, "needy" patients, etc.
you must have a compassion to care for all patients that is genuine.

* Common sense! -- Therapists initially learn from books,clinical teaching, & observation. Therapists build their qualities from their work experiences & must have the 'basic common sense' on how to apply their knowledge to each individual situation.
