A program to help pain sufferers—Massage and Myotherapy Australia

Did you know that older people and women, who in general experience more chronic pain, prefer a concurrent multimodality approach (accessing conventional treatments alongside massage therapy) to cope with their condition (Walker, B.F. et al. 2004[i])?

For people aged 55 and over, 5 times as many women as men have osteoporosis or osteopenia (AIHW[ii]).

Importantly, people living with chronic pain want empathic, non-judgemental and well-informed health professionals who want to listen and partner with them.

This is where you as a professional therapist come in. If GPs receive positive feedback from their patients about a referral to a massage therapist, they are more likely to refer others.

The GP massage brochures have been distributed to the clinics of GPs in your area. They provide an opportunity to make your services better known to people living in your community who suffer chronic pain.

The brochures include a space to enter your details and so you can also have them displayed in local libraries, community centres, and aged care facilities and so on.

In stock now you can order as many as you need and display them in your place of practice, or around your community.

Order your brochures online now at https://www.massagemyotherapy.com.au/Shop.

Do not contact your local GPs as they should have received or will receive the massage brochures shortly.
