Massage training course in Cheltenham, GloucestershireWorking in the health and wellness industry can offer a well balanced lifestyle and has many rewarding benefits.  Massage therapy, in particular, is a great choice if you are looking for a career with flexibility around home life.

With very little sacrifice you will be job-ready with all the required skills to begin offering massage treatments right away.

Market research and other reliable resources have estimated that by the year 2026 the Alternative & Complementary Therapy market in the UK will grow by a further 20-30%.

Since the pandemic and the continued rate of unemployment, 73% of adults in the UK have experienced more stress than ordinarily and at least 65% of stressed adults have pursued more alternative ways to help de-stress and support their wellbeing. This has opened many opportunities for new business start ups in the wellness industry offering products and services.
