The Top 3 Pieces of Advice for Therapists from 2021

WE HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THIS YEAR'S FAB SERIES OF THE MASSAGE AND PHYSICAL THERAPISTS TALK SHOW AS MUCH AS WE HAVE!

It's been another tough year for massage therapists & physical therapists and we are all looking forward to a bit of a rest over the Christmas break.

Why not make yourself a cuppa (or something stronger if you fancy!), put your feet up and catch up on our most popular videos of 2021?

So without further ado, here are our top pieces of advice chosen by massage therapists:

 

1. The Top Client Advice

The Massage & Physical Therapists Talk Show! Ep.04 Handling Difficult Clients!

In this fascinating fourth edition of The Massage & Physical Therapists Talk Show we delve into the difficulties we can have with clients as Massage or Physical Therapists. Our panel share their hardest personal experiences with clients and how they handled the situation. Each therapist on the panel share very different stories! 

 

2. The Top Career Advice

The Massage & Physical Therapists Talk Show! Ep.08 How to Prolong Your Career

Our panel of fabulous therapists share if they have given thought to how long they would like to (or be able to) last in this profession. We asked them whether they have put something in place or have they started to put some things in place now which will allow them to keep earning a living later on when they may no longer be able to work so hard physically.

 

4. The Top Business Advice

The Massage & Physical Therapists Talk Show! Ep.07 To Niche or Not To Niche?

To Niche or Not to Niche that is the question! For episode number 7 we asked our experienced panel of therapists to share their experiences with niching! We asked them whether they have a niche for their practice or not and if so how did they choose what to focus on? We asked them to share honestly whether they think it's important to have a niche and what advice they have for new therapists starting out.

 

5. The Top New Products of 2021

Massage Table Sanitary Barrier Protective Cover
Hygiene was at the forefront therapist's minds this year.  And higher use of alcohol and chemical disinfectants meant therapists ran the risk of ruining the upholstery on their lovely massage tables. Then along came the massage table sanitary barrier which covered the table fully and sat underneath the normal washable covers the therapists normally uses.
The cover is water resistant and acts as a moisture barrier preventing materials from getting through to the table, avoiding cross-contamination. And more most importantly you can sanitise it with whatever products you wish without ruining the upholstery on your treatment table.
Massage Table Couch Cover
Massage Table Adhesive Repair Patch
Quality massage table last decades. And although the strength, comfort and reliability remain the same, accidents do happen and over time things can happen that rip or tear the upholstery of therapist's treatment tables. 
So we provided an affordable, simple and easy solution to cover unsightly damage which comes in various sizes!

6. The Top Resource for Therapists of 2021

The Facebook therapists group is a community with over 2600 members and has been an amazing resource to help therapists navigate their way through what was likely the most challenging year of their careers. If you are not a member yet you can join and ask any questions you may need help with and it's a safe place to interact with your fellow therapists and start making friends!
