I hope some of these make sense. For massage therapist is
literally all depends on how many clients you have and how many days a week you
want to work. As a contractor I set my own hours and do my own thing. It may be
different for someone employed by a company.
My day all depends on number of clients in a day. But assuming I
have clients, I get to work and turn on table heat, read client charts,
massage, chart notes, wash sheets, help clients with any stretches.
