Do Chiropractors use Massage Therapists?

Hi Becky

I have heard about UK chiropractors and osteopaths using massage therapists, but I believe this isn't common practice. There isn't much employment in the UK for massage therapists, usually if there are jobs it's in the spa industry and the pay is crap. Most massage therapists here are self-employed and rent rooms in a clinic. At the moment there is no licensing of MT's in the UK, we can though practice legally but have no official recognition. Things may change in the future, believe it though when I see it 😉

Since you have experience in working with Chiro's, you should contact them directly with a CV. Also try contacting the major UK Chiro/Osteo professional bodies and see what they say.

Hi bbughtiful,
I have just arrived here in the UK from the USA.
I worked in Georgia for a chiropractor, and like you I was kept very busy.
Naturally, after arriving here I wanted to see if I could do the same thing here. Turns out, where I live anyway, that chiros and osteopath don't incorporate massage in their treatments as much as in the US. Some of the bigger clinics I have researched do, and maybe it also depends on the area...

On the subject of licensing, yes, you do need to be registered and approved according to your qualifications in order to get liability insurance.
I assume you have your NCBTMB certificate and also your MT School transcripts. With that in hand you will not have a problem getting insured. I have just been through it with no problems.

Good luck

Both my chiropractors (have moved away from the one I really liked - his accent was amazing 😀 and now have a new chiropractor) have been happy if I have a massage a day or so before I go to them.
So I think your idea of having 15mins of massage before an adjustment is tremendous and i would be up for it.

Actually you don't need to be registered in the UK by law. Registration in the UK in purely voluntary. It's up to the organisation you are working for/with if they wish you to be registered with a profesional association and/or voluntary regulator. There is plenty of insurance companies that will insure massage therapists by the weight of their qualification. Professional membership may be desirable but not compulsary!!!

Yes, I worked at a Chiropractic Clinic as a Neuromuscular Therapist and Corrective Exercise Specialist.

The two go well together

If your practice is not growing and you are unhappy it is time for change? When revenue is down, you suffer from roller coaster income, lack of confidence, more fighting with friends and family. Your passion dies, as does your waiting room. Therefore you need to change.

What you need is a coach. What you need is not any coach but a great chiropractic coach or practice management coach that can get you fast results.
