[quote=Anonymous]As a clinical massage therapist who mostly does therapeutic work for clients I will tell you that most people are inaccurate in believing the therapist makes a high wage. At places like massage envy, the massage therapist makes $15/hr to start. Even at a clinic, massage therapists pay top dollar for space rental, (for example half of their take home). On top of that, business owners still have many expenses people do not ordinarily take into consideration. (Cost of washing sheets, soaps, lotion and oils of a good quality are not cheap. Not to mention the physicality of the work can be extensive and even emotionally taxing for the therapist) It is not necessary to tip your therapist, or even your waitress, but please understand that you are paying for a service of health, and appreciating your therapist by throwing them a tip makes them feel like you were happy with their work.
