Mobile Massage Therapy Loadout

Mobile massage therapy is highly lucrative because you eliminate the 50% cut taken by a spa owner. However, you pay for that margin with physical labor. Lugging a table, linens, lotions, and tools out of a car trunk and up three flights of stairs will destroy a therapist's career faster than carpal tunnel. This guide focuses on building a professional mobile loadout that prioritizes client luxury while minimizing the physical toll on your body.
