Over the last few decades an increase in the range of therapies available, both on the NHS and privately, has led to an increasing number of courses focused on producing the next generation of therapist. From Reflexology and Aromatherapy to Massage and Reiki, each of these has its own specific practices and technique so make sure you do your research before choosing to pursue one at degree level. You will be dealing with people and the human body, of course, so both strong communication skills and an interest in biology are an advantage for applicants.
