Retired Colonel Thomas O’Malley sustained severe injuries after being shot down in Vietnam, and he spent years undergoing surgeries and taking prescription painkillers to numb the pain.
Fortunately, he is now finding relief from the burden of chronic pain, thanks to regular massage therapy. Even better, the treatment is covered by his VA benefits, thanks to the Veterans Health Administration’s pioneering efforts to find new solutions for chronic pain.
“I’ve been able to drop all my painkillers—and I was on so many painkillers that I couldn’t legally drive. I’ve been helped that much.”

This is a rare and rewarding opportunity for therapists to provide life-changing care to those who have selflessly served their country.
