Multiple Sclerosis
MS is a progressive immunological disease of the central nervous system. The resulting damage to the nerve causes many varying symptoms in patients. These symptoms include weakness in arms and legs, spasticity, uncoordinated speech, tremors and altered sensations in limbs, urinary problems and optic neuritis.
MS symptoms can change daily so touch is carefully monitored during each session. Due to these changes what feels great one day may be very uncomfortable the next session.
MS clients are urged to monitor the effects of each session so we can compare notes before every massage. Massage can increase circulation, help relax muscles, and increase your range of motion. Perhaps more importantly it can give great relief to anxiety as well as an improvement in mood and self-image.
