I've worked wellness events for caregivers who invest so much time caring for their loved ones, they neglect caring for themselves. For those of you caring for elderly parents, children with disabilities, you must take time out for yourselves. Massage can assist not only the physical, but the emotional body as well. The first step in caring for others is taking care of yourself.
Victims suffering from PTSD experience muscle tightness and pain. Massage releases the tension in the body, therefore promoting relaxation and improving mobility.
Swedish massage or a gentle touch is best for those suffering from traumatic experiences. This gentle massage modality soothes the nervous system, reduces anxiety, depression and other symptoms of trauma.
When we address physical discomfort, massage aids in releasing stored emotions and trauma. This is a beneficial aspect on the road to recovery.
Massage often helps clients re-connect with their bodies while increasing awareness of physical sensations.
