Many people affected by acute, chronic, and serious illness find their experience is compounded by other symptoms like pain, depression, and loneliness. In conjunction with other forms of care, like medication, massage therapy can have a significant positive impact on relieving these symptoms. Healwell trains massage therapists to bring expertly adapted massage therapy to patients who would not otherwise have access to it. Since 2009, Healwell has become a national leader in providing massage therapy as healthcare: their published research shows that massage therapy improves patients’ quality of life and reduces the emotional distress of nurses working with these patients. Breaking down barriers about who "deserves" to be seen and cared for with compassion, Healwell's massage therapists partner with healthcare teams in hospitals, homes, and clinics to change what it's like to live with serious illness.
