Free Massage for Mothers of Children with Disabilities
We donate massage and bodywork services each month to Portland area mothers of children with disabilities or critical medical issues. If you know someone in the Portland, Oregon metro area who could benefit from free massage or would like to organize a donation event please fill out the form below, or contact Bridgetown Massage or call (503)701-4676.
Stress has an incredibly dangerous and even deadly impact on the human body. A recent study found that for every year a mother cares for her disabled child, that mother will age roughly 6 years due to the intense effect of chronic, ongoing stress that is the hallmark of these mothers. We are dedicated to ease this stress by donating massage to this population on a monthly basis in order to say "thank you" and contribute, in some small part, to the incredible and important work these mothers do every day.
