BAYLOR UNIVERSITY PUBLISHES LARGEST STUDY EVER ON MASSAGE THERAPY USE

July 2024

"Many people receive massage therapy and for many reasons. But according to a new study – the largest and most comprehensive ever conducted on the subject – the prevalence of visits to massage therapists is higher than one might have imagined and the reasons may be surprising."

“What our study shows is that it’s probably not helpful any longer to label massage as an ‘alternative’ therapy, with all of the marginality that the term conveys.”

“Licensed massage therapists ought to be respected as mainstream practitioners, whose profession provides a therapeutic approach not just to address pain and functional challenges but to foster wellness and overall well-being, physical and emotional.

Everyone can benefit from working with a skilled massage therapist. They’re the hidden gems in the healthcare system.” - Jeff Levin, Ph.D., M.P.H., University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health. (Robert Rogers/Baylor University)

I temporarily hung my shingle up in Sun River over the holiday but I’m home sweet home and have an opening on 1/16 for a 60-90 minute from 11:30-1:30. Come out for some self care if you can ❤️

One of my sweet clients told me about a postcard campaign to encourage voting. One of my even sweeter clients heard about my effort and donated half the postage! My mom helped me a bit so I wouldn’t have writers cramp forever…this is what 100 postcards and democracy looks like today! Thanks to all who contributed!

Things I dislike most about being sick: 1) not seeing my clients and 2) not seeing my grandkids! My practice will re-open soon. Thanks for your patience! ❤️
