ABMP Member Survey: Massage Session Pricing
It's difficult to avoid discussions about inflation these days. Everywhere you look, people are talking about rising prices, possible causes, and the potential impact to our wallets. We asked ABMP members some questions about the prices of their typical 60-minute massage or bodywork session—where it is now, how it has changed in the past year, and what their plans are for next year.
Average Rate
$87
The average rate respondents charge for a 60-minute session
New Clients Welcome
40%
The number of respondents who would like more clients
Prices on the Rise
47%
The share of respondents who have raised their prices in the past year (of those, 3 in 10 plan to raise prices again in the next year)
Inside the Numbers
- 15% of respondents charge $110+ for a 60-minute session
- 6% of respondents charge less than $60 for a 60-minute session
- 28%: The share of respondents who plan to raise their prices in the next year
