Steadying the Body
Parkinson's Support
Therapy to reduce rigidity and improve gait for Parkinson's clients.
Understanding Parkinson's Support
Parkinson's Disease presents unique challenges, including muscle rigidity, tremors, and anxiety. Massage therapy can be a vital part of a comprehensive care plan. At Shepherd's Touch, we provide a calming, supportive environment where we focus on reducing muscle stiffness and promoting deep relaxation. Our goal is to help you move more freely and feel more comfortable in your body.
Rigidity is a hallmark of Parkinson's, often leading to a stooped posture and limited movement. This constant muscle contraction can be exhausting and painful. Massage helps to mechanically soften these rigid muscles and stimulate the production of dopamine and serotonin, which can help improve mood and sleep. We work with you, adapting our techniques to your specific needs on any given day.
