About

The Cause Massage/Reiki/Reflexology program continues to play a pivotal role in the reintegration and resiliency of our wounded, ill and injured service members and their caregivers. Studies have shown that injured service members are increasingly seeking out Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) as a way to battle the stress and pain of both physical and mental wounds of war. In an ongoing effort to address the critical needs of the wounded service members and their families, Cause continues to offer CAM to complement the care they receive at military medical facilities. In 2018, Cause conducted Massage/Reiki/Reflexology programs in two locations: Fort Belvoir (VA), Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (MD) . As an extension of the Walter Reed program, we also provide sessions on one day each month at Operation Homefronts Transitional Housing facility in Gaithersburg, MD. A total of 683 treatment sessions were given in 2018 to 189 individuals, and over 14,758 treatments have been given since the inception of the program. Based on program surveys, participants noted an overall average decrease in pain of 34% and an overall average decrease in stress of 43%.
