Three steps from referral to recovery.
We are entirely independent and not partnered with any specific doctors, giving you the freedom to choose any board-certified or licensed physician. If you do not have a doctor, we can help connect you with one in our trusted network. Once a provider is selected, we work directly with them and our clinical partners to make it as easy and quick as possible for you to begin medically necessary massage therapy.
Physician referral
A licensed physician determines that a patient needs medically necessary post-surgical massage or lymphedema therapy, but the patient is unable to access it because of financial hardship.
Foundation review
Our charity care team reviews eligibility for senior patients age 55 and over who are on fixed incomes and underinsured.
Care sponsored
We pay providers directly for prescribed care. Most patients are 65+, including cancer survivors and those with chronic conditions like lymphedema and neuropathy.
Exclusively for seniors 55 and over
Our nonprofit exclusively serves adults age 55 and older, providing care nationwide wherever qualified Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) are contracted with our charity care network. All contracted CMMS providers and LMTs receive their assignments directly through the nonprofit.
Your choice of physician
We are entirely independent and not partnered with any specific doctors. You may choose any board-certified or licensed physician, and if you do not have one, we can help connect you with a doctor in our trusted network so care can begin as quickly as possible.
"The post-surgical recovery window is the most critical and vulnerable moment in a patient's healthcare journey. For those who cannot afford medically necessary massage therapy, the Foundation exists to make sure they receive it anyway."
