In the Nervous System Disorders program we've combined four articles written especially for the Institute's Massage Professionals Update. These four articles include:
- Benefits of Bodywork for Epileptic Clients - More than a quarter of those diagnosed with epilepsy cannot control the disorder through medication. Learn to identify this disorder's symptoms and discover which types of bodywork have been shown to provide the greatest benefit to epileptic clients.
- You Have a Powerful Tool to Help People with Dementia - Learn how a caring massage professional can help ease the fear and isolation and improve the well-being of those with dementia. Massage and bodywork can be powerful tools in helping people with this progressive loss of mental function.
- The Benefits of Massage Therapy on Parkinson's Disease - In addition to its tragic impact on voluntary motor skills, Parkinson’s disease typically causes muscle stiffness and rigidity. Learn how bodywork can alleviate the symptoms of this increasingly common central nervous system disorder.
- Autistic Clients and the Value of Touch Therapy - A neurological disorder affecting normal brain function, autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. The safe and nurturing touch of therapeutic massage is being used more and more frequently as an accepted and innovative complementary treatment for children and adults with autism. Learn how you can help in treating this challenging disorder.
