“The Power of Touch” explains how the body responds to touch. Participants will learn about the decades of medical research supporting the benefits of massage.
Part of the hands-on program is learning how to give massage to the hands. Having the hands massaged is a good introduction to the power of touch in a relaxing, nonthreatening atmosphere. It takes only a few minutes for the muscles of the hands to release tension and stress.
