Bodywork Needed for Hospice Patients

Bodywork Therapists including Acupuressure, Shiatsu, Tui Na and other forms of bodywork are requested . Bodywork has been proven to increase comfort by decreasing anxiety and stress and promoting relaxation which often causes better sleep. We desire to help patients have a comfortable and dignified end of life experience. Massage therapy would help immensely with this goal.

We frequently have patients ask for massage/bodywork, not just anyone is able to provide that, we need trained professionals. A volunteer therapist with TRU knows they are making a real difference in the lives of our hospice patients.

As a volunteer you choose which patient assignments you accept. We see patients all over the Boulder and Denver Metro area. A bodywork therapist commits to seeing their hospice patients 4x and then re-evalutes. We always have a waiting list for patients waiting to benefit from bodywork.

Our requirments of Bodywork Therapists includes a certification and professional liability insurance.

TRU Community Care, formerly HospiceCare of Boulder and Broomfield Counties, has been serving our community since 1976. We are a nonprofit organizations which works to ensure that everyone in our community can live with advanced illness as comfortably, confidently, and fully as possible.
