$10,000 Grant Awarded to continue the work
with burn survivors in
2010
Nancy and the team of volunteer
therapists work at Camp Amigo in July
2006 resulted in a published research paper on therapeutic massage
and
its effect on burn survivors’ scar tissue. The research concluded
that
therapeutic massage did have an effect on scar tissue and range of
motion
and concluded that more study was needed. In 2009 a grant proposal
was funded for the 2010 calendar year by the Muscular Therapy
Institute
Foundation to expand this evidence based research program.
