The Demand for Our Services is Increasing as Even Insurance Companies Recognize the Value

Over 230 million massages were given last year and this number continues to grow as it´s accepted by the medical community. With the increasing shift toward complimentary medical treatments, massage therapy is frequently part of the integrative approach to treat and prevent ailments. In addition to medical professionals, health insurance companies are also recognizing the benefits of massage and are offering insurance plans that cover massage therapy.

• Between August 2006 and June 2007, almost a quarter of adult Americans (24 percent) had a massage at least once in the last 12 months.
• In 2005, massage therapy was projected to be a US$6 to US$11 billion a year industry.
• From 2006 to 2016, employment for massage therapists is expected to increase 20 percent, which is faster than average for all occupations.

We are Perfectly Positioned in This Market

Unlike other "spas", Michelle Lea Massage Therapy is geared towards "healthcare". We are taking healthcare to a new direction by offering massage, acupuncture, and other forms of holistic and alternative healthcare under one roof at affordable prices to the consumer. Once upon a time massage was viewed as "pampering" but more and more we are considered a necessity not a luxury.

"I personally have been in the Massage Therapy industry for almost 20 years. As a licensed therapist myself, I´ve seen first-hand the need/demands for this industry. I could not promote what I don´t believe in. This is why I put my heart and soul in this franchise. I believe in this industry and I KNOW it works.." -Michelle Lea, CMT President, Michelle Lea Massage Therapy Inc.
