June is Alzheimer's Awareness Month, a time to support those affected and their dedicated caregivers. The demands of caregiving can take a significant physical and emotional toll. At In Touch Well-Being in Norwood, we recognize this and highlight how massage therapy can offer crucial relief.
Caregivers often experience muscle strain, fatigue, and emotional stress. Massage provides a vital opportunity for respite and rejuvenation.
How massage benefits Alzheimer's caregivers:
Stress Reduction: Massage effectively lowers stress hormones and improves mood in caregivers (Nelson et al., 2017).
Pain Relief: Alleviates muscle aches and tension from physical demands.
Improved Sleep: Promotes more restful sleep, combating fatigue.
Emotional Well-being: Offers a nurturing touch that can reduce anxiety and isolation.
Self-Care Time: Provides essential moments for caregivers to recharge.
Caregivers, your dedication is immense. During Alzheimer's Awareness Month, prioritize your well-being with a massage at In Touch Well-Being for peace and relief. Feel free to call 781-769-2710 for an appointment.
