What is the best way to build up a massage therapy practice?

My husband is done with school in December. He used to be a massage therapist like 12 years ago, but the rules have changed, so he went back to school to get more hours and is going for his national licensing. When he is done in Dec - what route would you recommend him to take? What is the average income of a massage therapist? If he works for a spa or chiro clinic could he also get insurance? We will be living in Colorado *Denver area*

2. See the private email that I sent you.......another good reason to have Answers! contacts. My wife happens to be a massage therapist and built up her own business.
3. Besides several decent books out on the subject, have your hubby find some local schools in his area to see if they will provide any classes in building a massage therapy practice. Your State Health Department probably has a division that manages the massage industry, and they probably can provide a list of licensed schools in your area. 081407 5:30
4. Have you ever thought about this: If he is a therapist he already got the license and with that could he try to apply in your local/state's home healthcare program to be an independent provider. The home health care program is operated by medicaid and you should be able to find information on the internet on where to apply and so forth. In Ohio, the agency is called Care Star and what they provide is all medical and in home needs to those who qualify, but all of them have medicaid. That would be a good way to start, build a clientle and best of all, it would not require to have a practice from the start--that could be built once the clientle is established and the funds are earned---good luck
5. There is a site on the internet where you can look up the average income for a massage therapist in Colorado. Try google and type in "massage therapist average salary".
