GENTLE massage therapy

This modality is for those age 80+ or who are suffering from degenerative conditions.

Gentle massage therapy combines light/moderate touch with compassionate care to help alleviate musculoskeletal and neurologic pain as well as reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. This type of touch has been shown to lower the stress hormone cortisol, while increasing the release of mood-enhancing hormones and neurotransmitters. It has also been shown to stimulate the calming part of the autonomic nervous system. This often results in an improvements in sleep, blood pressure, and heart rate.

Recent studies and testimonials suggest that massage therapy can help tone down the rigidity and tremors characteristic of Parkinson’s Disease, as well as a help with constipation, and depression. It can also improve the quality of life for Alzheimer’s patients and bring comfort to hospice patients.
