Top ten MSAs looking to try acupressure next

Putting Integrative Health Services on the Map

By Margo Badzioch

With the Mindbody Wellness Index, we set off to see what wellness in America looks like. Not only does it allow us to rank the top 50 US metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) by the strength of their wellness markets, but it also enables us to see what integrative health trends are popping up and where. With survey results from over 16,000 consumers across the US, we can see where services like massage and acupuncture are most popular now, and which markets could be poised for growth based on consumer interest. We created a map of the US that shows which services are most popular in which areas and what is trending and gaining interest.

Which metro areas are most engaged in integrative health services?

The map details the top ten integrative health services that American consumers received in the past year and the ten metro areas with the highest concentration of residents who get those services. For each service type, the ten metro areas with the highest percentage of residents using each service are indicated on the map. Exploring nutrition counseling (the third most popular service across the US), Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN comes out on top. Almost 28% of regular integrative health consumers in this area (those who get services three or more times per year) sought out nutrition counseling this past year. The next highest area is New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA at 24%.

Interacting with the map can show the diversity in interest across the US and give additional insight into trend hotspots.

Once you get to the map, explore by toggling between the two interest levels and selecting the service type. If your area didn’t make it into the top ten, don’t worry. We have also included a table below the map that shows all of the top 50 MSAs and the percent of residents who received a given service in the past year or who are interested in trying a service next.
