Abstract, Summary, etc. Abstract<br/>Although some research had explored the professional lives of massage<br/>therapists who are visually impaired, studies remain limited--particularly within the<br/>Philippine context. Recognizing both the challenges and strengths faced by<br/>individuals in this field, the current research aimed to add to existing literature by<br/>giving voice to their personal and professional experiences. The study focused on the<br/>barriers they encountered, their strategies for coping, and how they developed trust<br/>with clients and built a sense of identity in their practice. It ultimately sought to foster<br/>inclusion, awareness, and support for this often underrepresented group in the<br/>wellness and healthcare sectors.<br/>This qualitative research adopted a phenomenological approach to investigate<br/>the lived experiences of massage therapists with visual impairments. Through in-<br/>depth interviews with practitioners from various settings and backgrounds, the study<br/>sought to understand how their visual condition influenced their professional roles<br/>and client relationships. Thematic analysis revealed key patterns, such as the<br/>enhancement of tactile perception as a strength, the critical role of social support<br/>systems, how they overcame stigma and built self-confidence over time. They still<br/>expressed a profound sense of meaning and fulfillment in their work. These findings<br/>underscored the adaptability and resilience of massage therapists with visual<br/>impairments and emphasized the need for inclusive educational and workplace<br/>frameworks within the complementary health profession.
