Every two years, ABMP commissions a consumer survey to get an idea of public attitudes toward the massage and bodywork profession. One of the questions asked is, "Why do you seek out massage therapy?" The answers give some great insight into what your clients want from a session: • 39% want relaxation and restoration • 37% want relief of pain or muscular soreness • 31% want stress relief • 12% want injury rehabilitation ( Note that these answers add up to more than 100% because survey respondents were asked to choose all reasons they sought massage therapy.) www.massagetherapy.com/media/metrics_massage_clients.php PREVENTION AND OVERALL HEALTH Just like we maintain our car or house, massage does the same for the body. It's routine maintenance so it doesn't quit on us. As much as we use our body, we need to take care of it twice as much. —CAMI HOSTETLER, WASHINGTON I would love to give you one of my cards so you can book a bodywork session with me.
