2010 survey into Massage Practitioner health

This, Gerry’s third survey in the last ten years investigating possible musculo-skeletal damage to Massage Practitioners, was the biggest survey anywhere in the world into the health of Massage therapists – with close to 2000 responses! A big thank you to everyone who participated in the 2010 survey.

Worryingly the results once again indicate more than two thirds of active Massage Practitioners are experiencing musculo-skeletal damage, the most common site of injury being the hand – closely followed by the back.

Our profession seems to be injuring itself while doing phenomenal work for the public by offering safe, powerful touch. At NO HANDS we believe there’s a better way - whereby the health of the practitioner is actually enhanced during the Massage, rather than creating repetitive strain injuries.
