Race for the Cure
OMA massage therapists participated again this year in the Komen Race for the Cure event on Sunday, September 24th from at 6:00 am until 9:30 am. Our Therapists provided complimentary chair massages for survivors during the Race in the Survivor Tent. This year’s race started at south Congress (see below), by the Austin American Statesman offices, just south of the river.
All of our OMA massage therapists are additionally trained in oncology massage. We had so much fun and helped to raise money for breast cancer research!
