Why Massage Therapy?

The national average percent change is 13% for the 2004 - 2014 employment projection series. Massage therapy is growing faster than the national average at 24%.
Consumers now spend between $4 and $6 billion annually on visits to massage therapists. Doctors are increasingly turning to massage as an alternative to regular health practices such as prescription medications.
