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)

StrikingTela (teal-yah)! Go see her adorable shop and support local artists. Betty is happy to help in any way she can, even helping to prepare a gift basket for a special friend! Thank you Betty!

IT'S DONE! The resin is set and this beautiful mandala, created by Betty, owner of StrikingTela (teal-yah), is now home!
The piece has our motto, "Cancer doesn't quit, neither do we" embedded on the edge, and the center appropriately has "Healing Therapies" in it! We are so blessed to have Betty in our community! Thank you so much for being an amazing Human Being! If you have not been to her shop, run there!

JULY 17, 5:15 pm. 83 Boston Post Rd, Waterford. Women's cancer support group!

It’s a good day when your last client of the day matches her nail polish to your sheets! (Unknowingly, of course)

Happy June! It is finally summer and we are not sad about it!
I am scheduling into late August, early September at this time.
If you would like to schedule an appointment, you may have to wait a bit, and I can add you to my cancellation list. I am happy to refer to a colleague if you have an emergent issue as well.

As most of you know, Healing Therapies Thru Sharing continues to serve our local cancer community in many ways. Cancer patients are a priority, and I appreciate your support with this.

As I have shared previously, there is a shortage in our field of Massage Therapy. We as professionals must keep our bodies healthy to provide you with bodywork. Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated in this matter.

Have a wonderful summer! Stay hydrated, keep moving, and be kind!

Bonnie's garden stakes are going fast! Get them while you can! Need a special order? Let us know! We can help!
