The Power of Touch: Massage For Children

Originally published in Tuesday’s Child Magazine, vol. 2, no. 8, August 1998

“When I volunteered to bring massage to Muscular Dystrophy Camp in St. Louis,
Missouri, I was overwhelmed by the youngsters’ responses.

They all wanted to get on the table, the response was incredible. When we couldn’t get them up on the table, I worked on them in their wheelchairs. I let them tell me where they wanted me to work. Every one of them had a different ache or pain and some had numb places where they wanted to feel again. These kids desperately wanted to be touched.”
