Entry Level Licensed Massage Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level licensed massage therapist job?
Start by ensuring your state license is current, since employers at this level screen for it before anything else. Highlight clinical hours from your massage therapy program, any internship placements, and specific modalities you have practiced, such as Swedish, deep tissue, or sports massage. Tailoring your resume to the setting, whether a spa, chiropractic office, or fitness center, signals you understand what that employer needs from a new hire.
Which companies hire entry level licensed massage therapists?
Companies hiring entry level licensed massage therapists right now include Equinox, Genesis Health Clubs, and Life Time, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this experience level, the strongest demand comes from spa chains, wellness centers, chiropractic and physical therapy practices, and hospitality employers that build in-house training for new graduates.
Are there remote entry level licensed massage therapist jobs?
Yes, though most massage therapy work is hands-on and on-site by nature. About 0% of entry level licensed massage therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those roles typically involve wellness coaching, client intake coordination, or virtual education rather than direct bodywork. The large majority of entry level positions require in-person client contact.
Are these new grad licensed massage therapist jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles that explicitly welcome candidates with limited professional experience. A new-grad-friendly posting typically requires zero to two years of hands-on experience, accepts internship hours or program clinical work in place of paid employment, and sometimes offers on-the-job mentorship. If a posting lists 0 to 2 years or says 'new graduates encouraged,' it fits the new grad category.
