Hi – I saw your email addresses on the fire notice at the massage store on Broadway and wondered if any of you would be available anytime in the next several days to do volunteer massage at the Boulder Airport?

There are 2-3 makeshift rooms inside the main building we can use, and many pilots and firefighters who really need massage (most seem to need deep tissue/treatment massage rather than just Swedish), but at the moment it’s only me.

If you know of any other therapists who’d be interested, feel free to pass this on for them so they can contact me. I’m thinking we could probably accommodate 4-5 therapists at a time, and I’m sure they can round up enough people to keep us busy – they will try to rotate in the ground firefighters from the res if we can get enough therapists. We can do shifts as needed and as much as you are available – they are very happy with whatever we can give, and today I did ~20 min sessions that seemed to work ok.

If you’re game, let me know when you’re available – basically it can probably be anytime between ~8am and ~10pm, though I’ve recommended starting late a.m./midday so they don’t get a massage in the a.m. and then go out and strain themselves. It’ll for sure be Sat-Sun, probably Mon, possibly through Tues-Wed and a slight chance for longer than that.

The basics as of today:

-we have a large tub (gallon?) of Biotone lotion donated by Rick at the massage store on north Broadway – bring your own bottle to fill up and maybe some backup lotions in case we run out
-we might get some sheets and towels as donations, but don’t count on it (if you know of where we can get sheets/towels please go for it!)

-bring your own table, linens, chair, whatever you need to do your thing (mostly back, neck and shoulder stuff so far)
-bring your proof of Colorado registration (needed by the airport for insurance reasons) – we’ll make a copy of it for their records
-bring whatever food and drinks you need (there is at least one snack machine there)

They are great people, fun to work on and they need bodywork! Thanks if you can help out at all – please let me know as soon as you can if you are available, even if it’s for a couple of hours. You can try me at home after about 9a.m. at 720 328 1167, or mobile 720 771 6257 – I’ll return your call as soon as I can.  I’ll check email in the morning, but i may not have access after about 10a.m.

Thanks very much,
Michelle
