Massage Therapy Helps Parkinson's Disease Patients

Massage therapy is one of the most popular complementary and alternative medicine choices for Parkinson's sufferers.  A Japanese study in 2012 found patients' improvements included post-massage reduction in muscle spasms and tremors, an increase in range of motion in shoulder joint ("frozen shoulder"), increased gait speed, and improved sleep patterns.  Adding massage therapy to medication regimens can measurably improve quality of life for Parkinson's patients.  For more information on the benefits of massage therapy, please visit Kiel Unger Massage Therapy.
