Massage through touch – “The art of healing”

Massage through touch – The art of healing

Did you know that touch stimulates the release of endorphin’s, 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!

The above is just a small introduction to the therapeutic qualities that systematic massage at regular intervals offers!
