### A rapidly growing industry
Massage is one of the world’s fastest growing industries. Once considered a luxury or an occasional indulgence, massage has now gone mainstream. Between July 2012 and July 2013, roughly 35 million American adults (16%) had a massage at least once. *Today, more people and more health professionals understand that massage can be a powerful tool in relieving stress and injuries and promoting overall well-being. That demand is fuelling the need for highly skilled massage therapists, making massage therapy one of the ‘best jobs’ according to a 2012 feature in U.S. News and World Report.
### Massage Heights drives new opportunities
“Massage has become more popular due to Massage Heights making it an affordable and convenient option for people from all walks of life to experience as part of a balanced health plan,” said Doug McNabb, master franchisee in the Canadian market. “The awareness about the benefits of therapeutic massage continues to increase, so the market can only continue to grow exponentially,” added McNabb. “As business owners, we really want to connect with our Guests. The reality is, with most businesses that opportunity isn’t there. Massage Heights is a unique concept where you can personally connect with your Members. It truly is a partnership between us and the community.”
### Best-in-class training and support
Massage Heights provides the most robust training of any massage franchise, with five weeks of training before your Retreat Grand Opening with ongoing training opportunities after that.
The company also offers site selection assistance, outstanding field and marketing support, and extensive online resources. “Our training is more comprehensive,” said Vicki Tep, franchise owner. “Strong marketing sets us apart, and our customer retention is amazing.”
