The Massage Industry and the elements Massage Franchise
The massage industry has shown impressive growth over the last several years. Recent studies report that up to 47 million Americans receive a massage each year. The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics* report that job growth and opportunity within the massage industry is on target for “faster than average” growth at 18% to 26%.
The Growing Franchise Industry
At the same time, the franchise industry is growing at alarming speeds. Experts suggest that nearly 50% of all products bought and sold in America today are a result of a franchise business model. Franchise business models are showing success as more people are driven to be their own boss, but want to operate a business without accepting 100% of the risk. A franchise business model lets entrepreneurs “plug into” a proven business system that has already gone through the typical ups and downs that a start up may experience.
The Perfect Synergy – elements therapeutic massage Enters the Franchising Industry
Modeling the success of the personal training studios of the Fitness Together Franchise Corporation, elements therapeutic massage began franchising their business model in 2006. The elements massage franchise business model was developed by Michele Merhib, who is an occupational therapist (OTR) and a certified massage therapist (CMT).

In 2000, with virtually no advertising, only word of mouth referrals, Ms. Merhib received such a demand for her therapeutic massage services in her own private massage facility that she developed multiple locations, employing dozens of certified massage therapists. It is this successful business model that caught the attention of the Fitness Together Franchise Corporation (FTFC) which many experts believe formed the best franchise in the wellness and massage industry.
