BAYLOR UNIVERSITY PUBLISHES LARGEST STUDY EVER ON MASSAGE THERAPY USE

July 2024

"Many people receive massage therapy and for many reasons. But according to a new study – the largest and most comprehensive ever conducted on the subject – the prevalence of visits to massage therapists is higher than one might have imagined and the reasons may be surprising."

“What our study shows is that it’s probably not helpful any longer to label massage as an ‘alternative’ therapy, with all of the marginality that the term conveys.”

“Licensed massage therapists ought to be respected as mainstream practitioners, whose profession provides a therapeutic approach not just to address pain and functional challenges but to foster wellness and overall well-being, physical and emotional.

Everyone can benefit from working with a skilled massage therapist. They’re the hidden gems in the healthcare system.” - Jeff Levin, Ph.D., M.P.H., University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health. (Robert Rogers/Baylor University)

Conversation with a new client today:
Client: Kenny, what's up with the price for a massage?
Me: A lot of variables, rents have been raised and supply costs are higher than ever. And a bit of money see, monkey do.
Client: When are you raising yours?
Me: Never if I can help it. I'm fortunate to have extremely low rent and minimal expenses to cover. I also have too many clients who would be priced out by an increase and I believe that massage is for everyone. I'd rather see more people come in on a regular basis than have to wait until they can afford it.
