2nd Annual MS Symposium


On November 9, 2009, I was pleased to provide chair massage sessions to attendees of the 2nd Annual Hudson Valley MS Symposium.

After hours of sitting and listening to seminars, there were many grateful people for the attention to their aches and pains.

Massage Therapy can help those with Multiple Sclerosis cope with pain and discomfort, help them attain better balance, reduce spasticity and give them a general feeling of well-being.

If you have or know someone who has MS, please share with them the knowledge of these benefits of massage.

How Young is Too Young to Get a Massage?

This little cheeky monkey was getting the benefits of massage therapy in utero as her mom got sessions at least once a month (and more frequently as time went by) while she was pregnant.

She's one cool and relatively mellow kid, I'm told, and I like to think I had a little something to do with that!

Mom and dad still come regularly for massage sessions, acknowledging how beneficial the therapy is for daily aches and pains associated with baby raising like sore shoulders, arms and backs, as well as how good it is for stress relief and relaxation for those who aren't necessarily getting all the sleep or restful moments they should.

Oh - and she has some awesome taste in bib fashion, if I do say so myself!
