I had the privilege to take a continuing education class at Got Your Back in Conshohoken over the weekend. It really filled my cup to spend time with and learn from others who are so passionate about massage. The good local food and break from being a mom were nice as well 😅

Massage is no longer just about helping those in pain, but about overall wellness, both physically AND emotionally!

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 have great suggestions for all of these, so feel free to ask away. Sitting ergonomics is especially important for anyone who works at a computer. Your chair, desk, computer, keyboard, and mouse all need to come into consideration.
