And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.

Therapeutic touch is profoundly beneficial because the human body, mind, emotions, and intuition form a complex, dynamic field. In health, this field is balanced; in illness, the field becomes imbalanced and disordered.
When is Massage Not Beneficial?
Broken skin, varicose veins & bruises are two reasons to avoid specific areas of the body and other conditions may preclude massage completely. These include systemic infections, fever, some heart conditions, undiagnosed lumps/swellings, thrombosis or phlebitis, recent major surgery and early pregnancy for those prone to miscarriage. If in doubt check with your doctor first.
The Effects Of Massage
Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative and a course of massage treatments will bring the most benefits. Regular massage can have the effect of strengthening and toning the entire body mechanism, and so help to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and any resulting structural weaknesses. Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system-depending upon what is required by the individual - and thus help reduce fatigue, leaving the recipient with a feeling of replenished energy. At its best, massage has the potential to restore the individual physically, mentally and spiritually. Add to this the benefical effect of essential oils, and a powerful healing modality is yours for the asking!
Special Massage Situations
Pregnancy, terminal conditions, coma, paralysis and children with special needs are some of the special situations calling for a highly trained therapist. The combination of nursing skills and massage assures you of the very best care.
In Summary
