Our Inception:
iValuemassage is the product of a community of massage therapists who began to notice a decline in living wage jobs for massage therapists due to the birth of the corporate massage franchise. After over a decade of lowering cost, pay and quality of service of massage by corporate massage franchises, the industry of massage has taken a nose dive for both client and therapist. While prices plummet so have the standards, practices and education of massage therapy. Investigative news reports and class action suits against the corporate massage franchise has plagued massage therapy in recent years and has put the spotlight on the dark side of the massage business. There are so many benefits and so much value to be gained from massage therapy when in the hands of integrity-based businesses, ethical private practicioners and educational institutions that continue do the right thing by their students. This cause of great concern forged a new idea by massage therapists, develop a place where massage therapy is valued, where the professionals, clients and educators who value massage therapy can connect to forge a rebirth and regeneration of the massage profession as we once knew it before the corporate massage franchise take over and monopolization of the massage profession. Lead the public and massage therapists towards the places and people who value massage therapy. A place where we magnify the value and benefits of massage therapy and the professionals who put that value into practice. A place for consumers seeking a value-filled massage therapy experience. A place where potential students can find educators who will pass this invaluable tradition of healing to the next generation of massage therapists.
