Hospital Massage

Hospital massage is becoming more accepted and encouraged by physicians and hospitals across the United States.

Mainstream healthcare workers are accepting and even embracing massage therapy for their patients. Why?

It is good for the patient's health, it satisfies the patient's need for touch and for company, and it saves valuable time for busy nurses if massage therapists are performing the massages. Yes, these programs are a win-win for the hospitals and their employees, the patients, and the massage therapists.

In hospital based massage, the massage therapist works closely with physicians and nurses to benefit the patient. Usually, the therapist is an employee of the hospital and not an independent therapist. He/she provides massage therapy for all of the patients that the hospital assigns.

The massage therapist can work in many departments of the hospital such as oncology, which is the cancer ward. Another possibility is the labor and delivery department and also neonatal intensive care, and many other departments.

Hospital based massage will grow as more and more hospitals and healthcare providers hear of the success of these programs.
