The purpose of National Therapeutic Recreation Week is to enhance public awareness of therapeutic recreation programs and services, and expand recreation and leisure opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Therapeutic recreation uses treatment, education, and recreation services to help people with illnesses, disabilities, and other conditions to develop and use their leisure in ways that enhance their health, functional abilities, independence, and quality of life.
National Therapeutic Recreation Week, which was established by the National Therapeutic Recreation Society, has been celebrated during the second week of July every year since 1984. Each year, NTRS develops press releases, proclamations and program ideas to help agencies observe the celebration.

International Massage Week is designed to raise public awareness of the benefits of therapeutic massage, and encourage individuals to take the extra time to care for their health through massage.
Massage therapy is a healing art, which uses manual manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, including the muscles and joints, to promote well-being, prevent injury, and relieve pain. Massages have been proven to reduce stress, pain relief, anxiety, depression and soreness. Massages also improve circulation, flexibility, posture and provide oneself to a better sleep and athletic performance. Consumers spend between $2 to $4 billion dollars annually on visits to massage and bodywork practitioners, totaling approximately 75 million visits each year.
Popular among all ages, massage can be attributed in part to the growing population of aging baby boomers and an increased awareness of the effects of stress and the physiological benefits of massage. Today, more Doctors and sports teams are prescribing massage to their patients and hiring massage therapists. Businesses and organizations are also offering massage in the workplace to decrease job stress and increase productivity.
