Massage through touch – The art of Healing

Massage through touch – “The Art of Healing”
Did you know that touch stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers?  There are approximately 5 million touch receptors in our skin, three thousand in each fingertip so make your calculations!
From the earliest days, touch has been an instrument of healing and a facilitator of concern and compassion.
Have you noticed that:
·          when you feel pain your first reaction is to touch the painful area and rub it?
·          when your child falls you rub their limbs unconsciously?
·          when someone is crying you comfort them with a touch on their back?
·          when you want to share your happiness with your spouse/child/friend you give them a huge hug?
Always remember that touch is your first means of communication with yourself and others!
