Massage therapy is an excellent way to alleviate pain and stress. If you need a massage, or you are considering finding a good massage therapist in your area, massage services in various locations provide options. The following highlights just a few of the possible locations where you might find a massage clinic. 

In Hairdressing Salons and Spas

Some of the more premium hair salons operate like spas. They offer more than just haircare; they offer waxings, manicures, pedicures, and massages. You can tell these high-class places from standard hair salons by the fancier names and premium locations. If you still are not sure if a spa or salon is offering massages, ask. They are happy to tell customers about all of the services they offer. 

Stand-Alone Massage Clinics

Massage therapists sometimes strike out on their own when they can make the rent on their own business space. If that is the case, strip malls or corner commercial spaces are common places for massage therapists to set up shop. Watch for them on your morning commute. 

In Chiropractic, Orthopedic, or Neurological Clinics

Massage therapy complements the work of chiropractors, orthopedists and sports injury specialists, and neurological clinics. Some of these therapists may even be covered under your medical insurance if they are employed by your health network and work out of any of the above offices/clinics. Check around and see where they are "hiding" the next time you need to visit any of the above healthcare specialists. 

In Aesthetics Spas

Aesthetics spas offer things like Botox injections and laser skin resurfacing. However, these businesses recognize that increasing blood flow to the skin speeds healing. Ergo, it is not uncommon to find a massage therapist working in these aesthetic spas. 

In Gyms and Athletic Studios

Where people tend to overdo their workouts, strain their bodies, and pull muscles too far, there is where you may find more massage therapists. Dance and pilates studios frequently offer massage as a side service, as well as gyms and martial arts studios. Sometimes boxing gyms have an arrangement with a masseuse, too. If you have a membership or belong to any of the above, find out if they have someone who does massages working in the building. Your first (or next) massage may be included with the cost of your membership, and it is something worth looking into if you are already attending these places regularly.
