The Hidden Battle: Pain and It’s Impact on Veterans.
More than 100 million Americans live with chronic or acute pain — and for many veterans, that pain is intensified by the physical and emotional toll of military service. Studies show that musculoskeletal (MSK) pain and emotional pain occur together 70% of the time, often accompanied by depression, anxiety, PTSD, sleep disruption, and even suicidal thoughts.
Traditional treatments — including surgery, opioids, and over-the-counter medications — are not only expensive (costing the U.S. up to $1.5 trillion annually) but also ineffective for long-term recovery. Opioid dependence, in particular, can worsen pain over time, reduce quality of life, and make healing harder.
A Better Way to Heal: Medical Massage Therapy (MMT)
That’s where Zeel Health’s Medical Massage Therapy (MMT) comes in. Unlike temporary fixes, MMT is an evidence-based, non-opioid approach that combines three powerful components:
- Manual therapy to relieve pain and restore movement
- Patient education and self-care to build lasting wellness habits
- Movement therapy to improve function and independence
The results speak for themselves. Veterans who’ve received Zeel’s MMT (Medical Massage Therapy) treatments report:
- 92% less pain
- 86% better physical activity
- 90% improved mood
- 84% better sleep
- Over half reducing or eliminating opioid use
With most sessions provided in the comfort of the veteran’s home, Zeel’s approach also removes the barriers of travel and accessibility — helping more veterans complete their care (with a 93% program completion rate).
From Sidelines to Slam Dunks: Veteran Emmerson Hardy finds relief through Medical Massage Therapy
For years, Emmerson Hardy —a veteran—lived with chronic pain that flared without warning, often robbing him of life’s simplest joys. Something as ordinary as shooting hoops with his nephew became impossible. The frustration wasn’t just physical—it was emotional. “It’s not just pain,” he said. “It’s being able to participate in life again.” That changed when Emmerson began receiving Medical Massage Therapy through his VA referral. With consistent treatment, his chronic pain became manageable. Now, he’s back on the court—laughing, moving, and making memories with his nephew. Emmerson’s story is just one of many. Medical Massage Therapy is helping veterans get their lives back — restoring mobility, improving mental health, and reigniting the sense of purpose and resilience that defines them.

This is Dave’s story—a journey from service and sacrifice to healing and hope.
