Seeking Volunteers for a Massage Therapy Case Study!
Hi everyone! I’m currently a student massage therapist and am looking for volunteers to participate in a case study as part of my training.
If you or someone you know experiences any of the following conditions, I’d love to explore how massage therapy can help improve your quality of life while advancing my skills:
Conditions I’m Focusing On:
• Chronic Pain (e.g., lower back pain, neck pain, geriatric chronic pain)
• Stress-related Conditions (e.g., tension headaches, anxiety, insomnia)
• Post-Surgical Recovery (e.g., scar tissue, range of motion improvement)
• Sports Injuries (e.g., sprains, tendonitis, muscle recovery)
• Palliative or Hospice Care (focused on comfort and relaxation)
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Inflammatory Arthritides (e.g., ankylosing spondylitis)
• Neuropathy (e.g., diabetic neuropathy)
• PTSD (manageable levels in collaboration with your care team)
• Depression (mild to moderate, in conjunction with mental health care)
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Postural Issues (e.g., kyphosis, lordosis, muscular imbalances)
If your condition isn’t listed here but you think massage could help,
feel free to reach out—I’d love to discuss it with you!
Details of the Case Study:
• When: January to April 2025
• Where: Student clinic in downtown Kelowna (possibility of in-home sessions for palliative/hospice care)
Commitment:
6 weekly sessions,
each lasting 1.5 hours,
including assessments, treatments, and progress tracking.
Participant Requirements:
• Reside in Kelowna
• No active ICBC or WorkSafe claims
• Able to commit to 6 weekly sessions
• Open to completing simple home care tasks and surveys
This is a unique opportunity to experience free massage therapy while helping a student gain hands-on experience.
If you or someone you know is interested, please contact me Privately to discuss details.
Thank you for your support—I look forward to working with you!
