Farmer, a WSU senior and massage practitioner for more than 10 years, organized WSU’s three-day awareness event in an attempt to get the word out to students about the benefits of massage therapy.
Along with the free chair massages, a special partner massage session will be offered Wednesday night at a cost of $10 per
couple. The class will teach partners “techniques to make it enjoyable from both ends,” Farmer said, including ways to reduce fatigue while giving a massage. Registration forms can be picked up at the UREC main office.
