Massage therapy for pain relief...
-
Almost one-third of adult Americans
say they've used massage therapy at least one time for
pain relief—just behind those who have turned to
chiropractic (38 percent) and physical therapy (44
percent).
-
Of people who had at least one massage
in the last five years, 30 percent report that they
did so for health conditions such as pain management,
injury rehabilitation, migraine control, or overall
wellness.
-
By comparison, only 22 percent had
massages for simple relaxation, and just 13 percent
for a "special indulgence."

wellness…

85 percent agree that massage can be
beneficial to health and wellness.
