Health Benefits of Massage
90 percent of individuals surveyed perceive massage therapy as effective in reducing pain,
according to the 15th annual consumer survey sponsored by the American Massage Therapy Association®
(AMTA®). This number is up from 86 percent
in both 2009 and 2010.
• This increase may be attributed to the increasing number of people who consult doctors and
health professionals about massage.
• The percentage of all surveyed adults who had a massage in the previous 12 months remained
consistent at 18 percent in 2011, the same amount as in 2010.
• All survey respondents were asked what techniques/approaches they used for pain relief and in
2011, more than
30 percent indicated that they had used massage at some point. This trend has been growing over the
last four years:
Americans’ Use of Massage is Changing
• Forty-four (44) percent of adult Americans who had a massage between July 2010 and July 2011
received it for medical or health reasons compared to 35 percent the previous year.
• Those with a household income of $50K - $75K (the middle income range of those surveyed) had the
highest number of massages in the last year, with an average of 6.2 per household, while the
highest income range of $100K+ only had
2.8 massages per household surveyed. This nods at the reduction of massage for relaxation and
increased use for specific health needs.
Recommending Massage to Others
• 69 percent of Americans have or would recommend massage therapy to a relative or someone else
they know.
• Of consumers who have received at least one massage in the last 12 months, 24 percent have heard
of the American
Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).
