When you are deciding whether a new tool is worth it, the real question is: does it make your life easier?
For MuscleMap, the main outcome we built for is simple: help you rebook more clients so that you spend less time chasing new ones.
Why Rebookings Matter
Most massage therapists and PTs say a good rebooking rate is around 60 to 70 percent. If you are under 50 percent, that is considered low, and if you are over 70 percent, you are doing great. But even small improvements make a big difference.
The challenge is that many clients feel better after one session and do not realize they should keep coming back. When clients can actually see their muscle tension data and track progress, they are more likely to trust the process and rebook.

Here is a simple way to think about the numbers. When clients rebook more often, that means more sessions without you having to find new customers. Even a few extra rebookings each month can add up quickly.
Earn an extra $720 per month
Formula: (Daily sessions × Session price × Rebooking lift %) × 20 workdays
Example: Meet Sarah, LMT
Sarah sees 80 sessions a month at an average of $90 per session. Her baseline rebooking rate is 60 percent. With MuscleMap, she sees a 10 percent lift, bringing her rate to 70 percent.
That means:
- Baseline: 48 clients rebook
- With MuscleMap: 56 clients rebook
- 8 extra rebookings × $90 = $720 more each month
That is the equivalent of adding almost an extra week of income each month, without having to spend more time marketing or chasing new clients.
Another Upside: More Valuable Sessions
Some therapists also choose to highlight MuscleMap as a way of elevating the client experience. By offering a "data-tracked session," they set themselves apart and reinforce that their practice is grounded in objective results. For example, adding $10 for clients who want this feature and having half say yes could bring in another $600 per month.
Showing objective data can strengthen the perception of your work and give clients another reason to value your sessions.
The Bottom Line
MuscleMap is not about replacing your hands or judgment. It is about adding one more tool: a clear, objective measure that helps clients see their progress. When clients can see progress, they are more likely to rebook.
Even a small lift in rebooking rate, just 5 to 10 percent, can mean hundreds of dollars in additional monthly revenue. More importantly, it helps you build trust and long-term relationships with your clients.
And if you want to try it for yourself, you can start with our 60-day money-back guarantee (no returns required). Our mission with MuscleMap is simple: to bring more clarity and trust into muscle care, so therapists can focus on what matters most, helping clients feel and move better.
