Everybody Deserves a Massage: Celebrating the Power of Inclusive Healing
Honoring Massage Week July 13–19 at Spindrift Massage & Bodywork Therapy in the Outer Banks
From July 13–19, massage therapists across the country recognize Everybody Deserves a Massage Week, a national campaign that reminds us all of a simple truth: healing through touch is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Founded by the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP), this initiative was created in the 1990s to promote the physical and emotional benefits of massage therapy and make it more accessible to the public. It’s about outreach, education, and most importantly, inclusion.
At Spindrift Massage & Bodywork Therapy, we believe massage should be a safe and supportive experience for every body, regardless of background, size, age, ability, or life experience.
A Week Rooted in Community and Care
Everybody Deserves a Massage Week began as a way to raise awareness about massage therapy’s role in wellness while encouraging massage professionals to give back through charitable services, education, and accessible care. Over time, it has become a broader reminder that massage is not just for athletes or those in pain—it’s for everyone.
This message is especially relevant in today’s world, where stress, disconnection, and nervous system overload are common. Massage can help bridge that gap, offering people a way to reconnect with their bodies and reclaim their sense of calm.
Why Massage Is for Everyone
Massage therapy offers more than relaxation. It supports the body’s natural systems and promotes healing on multiple levels. Whether someone is dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, trauma, or simply everyday stress, massage provides space to reset.
Benefits of inclusive massage therapy include:
Nervous system regulation
Improved lymphatic and circulatory flow
Relief from tension and postural imbalances
A sense of safety and reconnection to the body
Massage is also adaptable. Whether you're lying on a traditional massage table, seated in a chair, or receiving focused work on a specific area, it can be tailored to meet your individual needs.
Creating an Inclusive Massage Experience in the Outer Banks
At Spindrift, our massage OBX services are centered around respect, safety, and personalized care. We know that every body holds tension differently—and every story is unique. That’s why we take time to listen and adapt every session to what you need most.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about whether massage was “for you,” this is your reminder: it is. Whether you’re recovering from stress, healing from trauma, living with chronic conditions, or simply needing time to rest, we welcome you.
Our massage Outer Banks offerings range from therapeutic full-body sessions to focused treatments for TMJ, lymphatic drainage, or emotional overwhelm. Every session is guided by skill, compassion, and your comfort.
