Jennifer Kangas of Kangas Myofascial Massage announces the opening of the Community Massage Project at McClennen Family Chiropractic and Wellness Center, 46 Crowell Road, Chatham. Every Thursday a walk-in massage/bodywork clinic will be open in the Community Wellness Room from 4 pm – 7 pm. Ms. Kangas, along with colleagues Paulette Abdow of Knead a Massage, and Jennifer Dussault of Treat Lightly Healing, will be offering fifteen minute treatments for $15.

"I was inspired by the Community Acupuncture model. I wanted massage and bodywork to be available and accessible to those with limited time and resources," said Kangas. "The Community Wellness Room provides ample space for three therapists to work in an open area, clients are fully clothed and no oils are used. It is an ideal way for those 'on the go' to stop in for relaxation or pain relief."

"Jennifer approached me a few weeks ago with this idea and I was onboard immediately," said Dussault. "Our goal as massage therapists is to assist the body’s natural healing ability through a variety of techniques such as traditional Swedish or deep tissue massage, Myofascial Release or Cranial Sacral Therapy. I think this is a great way to make bodywork more accessible to the community."

"Each therapist has a unique touch," added Abdow. "Together we can meet the various needs of our clients. We especially hope those who use their physical bodies for work such as hair stylists, landscapers, fishermen, healthcare providers and hospitality workers will come get care for their overworked bodies. It is also ideal for those who are pressed for time. Everyone can afford fifteen minutes!"

"I don’t view this as a luxury,” Kangas concluded. “For many people this could mean the difference between surgery or a lifetime of pain medication. For some it can mean being able to work an extra shift and earn much needed income."
