INDIANAPOLIS — A Bedford small business is stepping onto one of the state’s biggest holiday stages this week as Scott Salm, pastor at Bedford Free Methodist Church, brings his wellness company Next Step TheraSoles to the 2025 Christmas Gift & Hobby Show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
Salm, well known locally for his ministry and community involvement, is one of hundreds of vendors featured at the five-day event. His booth showcases a growing line of therapeutic products aimed at pain relief, circulation improvement, and long-term comfort — items he says have resonated strongly with customers across southern Indiana.
Next Step TheraSoles is part of TheraSoles Inc., a rapidly expanding U.S. health and wellness company known for its focus on high-quality, therapeutic innovations. At the show, visitors will be able to try two of the brand’s most popular items: the Therapeutic Massaging Insoles and the TheraComfort Seat Cushion.
The massaging insoles are designed to provide relief for individuals dealing with plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, restless leg syndrome, diabetes-related foot pain, leg cramps, poor circulation, and chronic back or foot issues. The TheraComfort cushion targets tailbone pain, sciatic nerve pressure, back strain, and fatigue caused by long periods of sitting.
When asked about the event, Salm said, “We are joining hundreds of other vendors, and we are selling our Therapeutic Insoles and Seat Cushions. We have made many contacts with people seeking comfort and relief. Our product and company description is on the Indianapolis Christmas Shows site. We are a new vendor and our booth number is 260.”
The Christmas Gift & Hobby Show runs Nov. 12–16 inside the West Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
