On Veteran's Day, we honor the brave men and women who served, recognizing that their dedication often comes with costs including chronic pain, anxiety, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). True gratitude means offering holistic care that aids their ongoing recovery.
The Healing Power of Touch and Energy Veterans often live with a constantly activated stress-response system (the "fight-or-flight" state).
Massage Therapy serves as a vital tool for grounding and regulation. By applying moderate pressure, it signals safety to the nervous system, helping the body shift into a "rest and digest" state. This physical relief decreases muscle tension and chronic pain that often accompany emotional trauma, leading to better sleep.
Reiki/Energy Treatment is profoundly beneficial for those sensitive to touch. This light or no-touch modality focuses on balancing the body’s energy field, promoting a deep sense of peace, reducing anxiety, and fostering a safe mind-body connection.
Bodywork’s value is backed by research. A 2016 study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry concluded that massage therapy is significantly associated with alleviated symptoms of depression and anxiety. This highlights its power as a non-pharmacological tool for stress-related conditions.
This Veteran's Day, support a veteran's long-term well-being with the gift of a restorative session. At In Touch Well-Being, we offer a safe space for healing and peace. As always, we offer a 20% discount for all active military and veterans.
