Who Can Receive a Massage?

What is Hospital Based Massage Therapy?

Massage and comforting touch has been in hospitals for years. Hospital based massage therapy allows massage therapists to have the singular focus on providing skilled touch to allow comfort. Trained therapists follow hospital protocol, and consider medications, pressure, site and position restrictions.
