I began my massage therapy career working for a chiropractor. It was an educational experience. I loved being a part of the healing community.

Dear colleagues,
I am happy to invite you to join my group:” Medical and Sports Massage” including FREE Medical and Sports massage lessons. Not alot of practitioners in the US are familiar with Russian Medical and Sports massage as it was proposed by a Russian physician professor of medicine Anatoly Sherback . I'm happy to offer you information about this methodology as well as some additional information about me. I hope that our friendship will be pleasant and mutual beneficial. I believe in sharing knowledge. In such a case you will be able to learn from me as well as I can learn from you . If after reading information about medical and sports massage, or viewing lessons you will have any question I'm encouraging you to make comments or initiate discussion topic . In such a case my replies will be available for many to read, as well as your replies. Looking forward for great relationship.
Best wishes.
Boris

Carla--MT Radio is doing a free webcast on Feb 25 about better business arrangements for massage therapists. You can go here to sign up and to leave some questions. It sounds like a perfect fit for what you're looking for!

Hi everyone! I am in the process of starting a business as an independent contractor MT for chiro offices and rehab centers. Can anyone give me some feedback with what an independent contractor should include in their contract with these facilities. I am worried that I may not think of something and be caught off guard and it hurt the start of my business.

Thank you again for your great ideas! Thanks Erica and Jacqueline! :)

Angela--see if she'd be willing to put you on an on-call/substitute list, such as if any of the MTs she works with need an emergency day off, want to take a vacation, get injured, etc. Perhaps you can peripherally integrate yourself into the office by doing trades with some of the MTs she has on staff; the more you raise your profile in that office, the more likely they'll be to turn to you if they need someone.
Alternatively, ask the chiro! She may be looking for more/different people, she may be open to the idea of adding on someone new, etc. There's information online about how to write a cover letter when cold-calling for a job. Basically, find out about her work and come up with a reason that she needs you. What makes you unique? What do you bring to the table, so to speak?

Angela are you working as a massage therapist now?
Getting additional training puts you on the right track. I always look for ways to set myself apart from the rest of the therapists.
If you have a good resume bring it to the offices that our are interested in. Eventually someone will be looking to fill an empty position. Making personal contact by going to the office and meeting the front desk person is really useful. Do you have a chiropractor? Start treatment yourself if not for a specific issue for an overall evaluation. Follow what Julie said below.

Oh! I think I found a great chiropractor, she is specialized also in functional medicine, clinical nutrition and endocrinology practitioner. I would love to work with someone like her but the problem is that she already have LMT's on her staff. What can I do if the chiropractor I am interested to work with has already LMT's on his/her staff? Because it seems the most of them already have LMT's! :(

Thank you so much Julie, Jacqueline and Ivy! I definitely would take in consideration all these ideas, all are great! I really want to work as an independent contractor, I am going to get two more certifications (Erik Dalton's technique and other) and then start following all of this. I will keep you posted! thank you again! :)
