The word is out – massage is in! According to the American Massage Therapy Association one out of every 6 Americans gets a massage each year - that's 25 million more Americans than just 10 years ago. Demand for massage is growing rapidly for both women and men in all age groups. 48 percent of 18-24 year olds have already experienced a massage and use of massage by those ages 65 and older has tripled since 1997.
