Healing Hands of Rosie Smith - North Sunflower Medical Center

If you haven’t had a chance to meet out traveling massage therapist, Rosie Smith, you’re missing out.

Last year, as we were looking to expand the services of our Diagnostic Clinic, we wanted to bring in a massage therapist to help our patients recovering from surgery or injury. We have found that all different types of patients from all kinds of backgrounds — young and old — seem to benefit from massage therapy.

“Everyone who comes to see me shows up in a good mood,” Rosie like to tell people. “We create a tranquil setting for people to come and feel better.”

We know how important it is to have women get regular health screenings. We knew that women need to get more regular cancer screenings. One way to get them in the door was to offer more services that made a visit to our diagnostic clinic enjoyable.

In the meantime, our physical therapists found that their massage therapy patients were more comfortable, relaxed and able to get healthy faster. Many of them now refer patients directly to Rosie as part of their treatment.

“I love my job. I love the patients and they love me. I always wanted a job where I was helping heal people,” Rosie told us. “I’m from Midnight, Miss. And I work with patients from Belzoni to Cleveland. Most of the men in my family were truck drivers, so being on the road works out great for me. I’m in Ruleville at Sunflower Med Spa every Friday from 10:00 to 3:00. Come by and see me.”

Sunflower Med Spa includes facials, makeup consultations/applications, waxing, Botox, injectables/fillers and massage therapy. To make an appointment with Rosie or anyone at Sunflower Med Spa, please call (662) 756-4000.
