MASSAGE THERAPISTS IN HOSPITALS
As interest in hospital-based massage therapy grows, more and more massage therapists want to work in hospitals. Many have asked for guidance in starting and joining hospital-based massage therapy (HBMT) programs. Massage therapists have much to offer the hospital setting. With skilled touch and caring hearts, massage therapists are a natural fit. We can support patients, families and hospital staff, where our services are badly needed.

Why is this important?
Massage therapists can provide personalized treatment specific for each patient and diagnosis. The Massage Therapists could attempt to involve in every patient and family to help identify functional treatment goals, which would allow for the establishment of an individualized plan of care.
