Why I give to the massage therapy foundation

Among the many charitable organizations that BIOTONE supports, our partnership with the Massage Therapy Foundation (MTF) has always been particularly near and dear to the company. When I started BIOTONE over 30 years ago, massage therapy was a luxury few could afford. Over the years, I have watched as massage has moved into the mainstream to provide relief to individuals across all economic strata.

Through the MTF community service projects, each year more and more individuals are able to benefit from massage therapy – individuals who might otherwise never experience the power of healing touch. Every MTF supported project also teaches us more and more about the power of massage to heal an increasing number of physical and emotional conditions.

Working with MTF, BIOTONE is able to give back to communities and further explore the incredible potential of massage therapy to work alongside conventional medicine to heal the mind and body. We greatly value the opportunity to be a part of such a unique and instructional program that helps to further the role of massage therapy in mainstream healthcare and to bring healing touch to communities across the country.
