Medi-ssage Outreach was founded with a mission to introduce medical massage as a substantial, non-pharmaceutical pain management treatment in response to the overwhelming substance use/ opioid use (SUD/OUD) and homelessness epidemics perpetuated by prescription medication dependency in Arizona communities.

Medi-ssage provides direct medical massage services to patients, including a 12-week, 60-minute medical massage coupled with six bi-weekly health and wellness peer-to-peer coaching sessions to guide patients to healthier choices (the program is called rEboosTx). Services provided by this project are available for Veterans, and patients who meet financial need requirements, with particular interest in serving patients from underserved communities who often do not have resources to access these type of medical interventions.
