The Indiana Holistic Center, Inc. specializes in many modalities of Massage Therapy and Trauma Therapy.
Founded in 1993 by owner, Beckie Kern, The Indiana Holistic Center, Inc. created the first Indiana hospital-based massage therapy program for patients and employees at Indiana's largest hospital, Methodist Hospital. Programs initiated include: Neo-natal massage therapy, post-traumatic injury therapy (including: auto accidents, shootings, head and spinal trauma), and pre- and post-transplant massage therapy for heart, liver and kidney patients. Another function of this joint venture was the creation of a massage therapy program for employees to help reduce stress and promote well-being for nurses, doctors, administrators and others throughout the hospital network. A special segment on FOX-59 highlighted the massage therapy program at Methodist Hospital in 1996.
In 1995, the company branched out to include equine, canine and feline massage therapy. This program helps calm animals, restore their confidence, and ease pain, fear and tension many animals suffer.
By 1996, an additional program was set up for The Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana to utilize massage therapy in rehabilitation for trauma patients on-site, as well as for their families.
Later that same year, The Indiana Holistic Center, Inc. added The Massage Zone at The Indianapolis International Airport as a "stress-buster" program for travelers and employees within IND. In its first week of business, The Massage Zone worked with more than 300 travelers and was featured on all three network evening news shows.
Since then, The Indiana Holistic Center, Inc. has continued to grow with its Motorsports Rehab program on the NASCAR circuit, implementing many of the classic, holistic and emerging techniques acquired from its close working relationships to many Indianapolis-area hospitals and physicians.
