St. Catherine Massage and Physiotherapy Clinic, a fast-growing wellness and rehabilitation centre, on Saturday, January 17, 2026, celebrated its five-year anniversary amid glowing testimonies from patients and dignitaries in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
The Clinic, which has steadily expanded its footprint, operates branches at Aladinma; IMSU Back Gate by Sterling Junction near Grandeur Hotel, Owerri; World Bank by Dreamland Hotel Junction, Owerri; and Lekki, Lagos.
St. Catherine Massage and Physiotherapy also runs Caregivers Home that offers a wide range of professional services, including elderly and senior care, assisted daily living support, post-hospital and recovery care, home caregiving services, mobility and personal hygiene assistance, massage therapy, physiotherapy, and professional body therapy.
The caregivers’ home serves as a compassionate extension of St. Catherine Massage Clinic, providing safe, structured, and professional daily care for the elderly and individuals requiring physiotherapy and rehabilitation support.
In a speech delivered at the event, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of the Clinic, Mrs. Ukamaka Catherine Oboh, expressed deep gratitude to God for the milestone.
“With a heart full of gratitude to God, I stand before you today to celebrate five remarkable years of this massage home. It is a feast of thanksgiving — a celebration of healing, hope, and healthy living,” she said.
Mrs. Oboh recalled that the clinic began five years ago as a simple vision aimed at helping people “feel better, move better, heal better, and live healthier,” with special focus on the elderly and individuals experiencing pain, disability, or post-hospital recovery challenges.
“We have grown bigger today not by human strength alone, but because God has been faithful,” she added.
She further noted that beyond physical healing, the Clinic has contributed to emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
“As a therapist, I have seen pain turn into relief, fear into confidence, and weakness into strength. As Managing Director, I have witnessed dedication from our staff, loyalty from our clients, and support from our community. Every testimony we hear today is proof that healing is holistic,” she stated.
The Ghana-trained massage therapist pledged to expand the Clinic’s services across Nigeria, emphasizing that St. Catherine’s services remain affordable and accessible.
Chairman of the occasion, Barr. Nnamdi Okororji, also testified to the effectiveness of the Clinic’s services, revealing that he is a patient of the facility.
Former Vice-Chancellor of Imo State University, Prof. B.E.B. Nwoke, advocated regular massage therapy as a means of improving overall health and quality of life.
Similarly, the former Chairman of Ebonyi State People’s Forum, Imo State Chapter, Chief Solomon Nwafor, described St. Catherine Massage and Physiotherapy Clinic as “a true healing home.”
Dignitaries present at the event included the member representing Orlu State Constituency in Imo State House of Assembly, Barr. Ikenna Ihezuo, former member representing Owerri Municipal in Imo State House of Assembly, Dr. Victor Mere; Chairman of the Association of Imo State-Based Journalists, Comrade Kelechi Ugo; veteran journalist, Chief Ike Nwosu (Okwuruoha Mbano), and other notable guests.
