Is the demand for massage therapy increasing or decreasing?
The number of Americans who have received massage in the past year has tripled over the past decade – according to research surveys conducted by AMTA and ABMP. In 2007, approximately 52 million Americans received 318 million massage treatments! Massage has certainly become a part of the mainstream. A new report from the National Center for Health Statistics shows steadily increasing usage of complementary and alternative medicine in our country (CAM), which includes massage therapy.
