Can massage help with parkinson disease?

and if so how does it help

Touch is very powerful.

Massage therapy can help alleviate symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. Your massage therapist will apply specific techniques to decrease any progressed flexed posture and aid in thoracic expansion and mobility to help improve breathing.

Massage Therapy can also assist in the short-term by:
- decreasing sympathetic nervous system firing
- maintaining tissue and joint health
- improving circulation
- reducing contractures
- decreasing pain
- reducing rigidity and tremors

I would encourage you to seek a registered massage therapist well-versed in nervous system disorders.
