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)

Previously gifted sessions, please contact directly to book!

Postpartum in-home travel sessions can be gifted if booked in advance. Offering available for parents at any phase during the postpartum season, not just the first 12-weeks.

~ flora is inspired by seasonal blooms. One of my absolute favorite things to do is share what I’m growing or drying, starting each week with a new studio bouquet. When available, these flowers are also sprinkled into births and shared during our time together at travel sessions ~
