Student Massage Therapy Clinic at River Valley Community College

Massage therapy students at River Valley College in Claremont will offer the community an opportunity this spring to support both their program and a local nonprofit project – and get a great deal on a massage in the process.
Students studying to become licensed massage therapists must log many hours of practice massages as part of their education, and those massages are done in a clinic at the school under the supervision of instructors. In May and June this year, the public will be invited to sign up for one-hour massages for only $20, with the entire amount going to support The Hand to Heart Project.
Hand to Heart is a nonprofit program founded by an RVC graduate that provides free in-home massage and compassionate touch to people who are dying of cancer or living with advanced cancer. The five-year-old project covers more than 20 towns in the Upper Valley region of New Hampshire and Vermont.
The clinic will be open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 4 – 9 p.m. the weeks of May 27, June 3 and June 10. You must schedule an appointment in advance, and you can do so emailing rvccmassage@gmail.com or by calling 603-542-7744 ext 5511.
With community support for this fund-raiser, the students will get valuable practice, Hand to Heart will get financial help to keep its program going, and every massage recipient will come away with the double benefit of supporting those causes and getting a relaxing and therapeutic massage.
