Prospective attendees of a massage school have another professional sport to target for their services. Another massage therapist has shown up in a media story about the benefit of massage therapy for professional athletes. Inar Treiguts, a native of Latvia, keeps the members of the NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers loose and limber. Apparently, the team is pleased with his work since he has been with the Thrashers since they began playing in Atlanta in 1999.

More and more opportunities appear to be developing for massage therapists in mainstream institutions. The ages-old healing form no longer resides under the mantle of alternative medicine.
