London Bridge Massage Works

I read an article recently in Massage Magazine (masagemag.com) that talks about how touch can help people battling cancer. It says:

“Pain associated with advanced cancer can cause physical and emotional stress, leading to decreased functional ability and quality of life.”  Massage helps by inducing a relaxation response in the body; increasing the circulation of lymph and blood; having analgesic effects; decreasing inflammation and edema; releasing muscle spasms; increasing endogenous endorphon release; and “competing sensory stimuli that override pain signals.”

I have had the opportunity to help two cancer patients with their pain.  I was so grateful to be able to do something to help. It was, truly, my honor to serve them.  Bless you both.  You know who you are.

I have a client who is 96 years old. She is amazing! I had the privilege of giving her her very first massage at age 93. I commend her open mindedness and willingness to try new things to heal and feel better. In the process, she has become a dear friend, and I have live history lessons every time I see her. If you don’t have a friend who is 90+ years old, I recommend getting one. It is a blessing and a blast.
