Research on COVID-19 & Massage Therapy

Research on COVID 19 and Massage

COVID-19 provides a unique opportunity to see how massage impacts people.  

Researchers from Indiana University School of Health & Human Sciences would like to better understand those who do and do not seek massage services during the COVID-19 pandemic and why people with and without massage experience seek massage treatment during these unique times.  

Please help share this survey with massage practitioners and/or their clients.

Who is eligible to participate?

  • Adults 18 years and older
  • Those that speak and read English.
  • Either
    • Those currently seeking massage therapy services, or
    • Those refraining from regular massage therapy services due to Covid-19.

What participants will do:

Participants will complete an online survey with questions regarding massage experience,  current health, and those specifically related to emotional well-being, social factors, sleep, pain, and health-related behaviors. The whole survey will take about 15-20 minutes to complete and participants will be invited to complete the surveys again 1, 2, and 3 months later. Each completed survey will be eligible to receive one entry into a drawing for one of two $25 Amazon gift cards at the end of the study.
