What To Expect
Grant Regional Health Center
offers massage therapy services by appointment in our Rehabilitation
Department. Clients who come in for a massage complete a form and discuss
their expectations with the hospital’s
certified massage therapist, Tonya Schlueter. This helps the therapist
determine what kind of massage will be most beneficial and which parts
of the body require massage.
Aromatherapy is also available to complement your massage session.
It is the use of essential oils for therapeutic effects. Essential
oils have been revered for their fragrance and their restorative effects
on the body, mind, and spirit for thousands of years.
By making massage a regular part of your life, you can experience the ongoing benefits of reduced tension, increased vitality, and improved ability to achieve a calm state of mind.
