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)

We are thrilled to be teaching our March class with two accomplished and delightful women, Naomi Hall and Lisa Castillo.

Naomi Hall has a private practice in Little Rock, AR where she specializes in massage for people with complex medical needs and trauma histories. Since becoming a massage therapist in 1999, she has provided several thousand hours of massage to adults and children with cancer at all stages of disease. She is certified in oncology massage (300 hours) and Trauma Touch Therapy, and studied with the late hospice massage pioneer, Irene Smith.

Naomi is a preferred provider with the Society for Oncology Massage and an experienced instructor, offering a 24-hour CE class on basic oncology massage. She will provide supervision for the hands-on portion of our class.

In her free time, Naomi enjoys the “sometimes messy creative process” of acrylic pour painting. We adore Naomi and can't wait to teach with her!
