10 Advantages of the "Medical masseur/medical masseuse (BP)" qualification

Training as a medical masseur enables people without basic medical training to obtain a federally recognized qualification in the healthcare sector. This enables them to open their own medical massage practice and offer medical massages in collaboration with doctors or find a job in a hospital, clinic, therapy practice, rehabilitation clinic or in a home, spa or health resort.
