THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE AS MEDICINE

Caroline Michaelis, Neighbor

More than pampering, more than relaxation, Therapeutic Massage as medicine really does have enormous health benefits.

Chevy Chase At Home's Meet & Mingle program on April 1, will feature a presentation by Mitch Markowitz of Family & Nursing Care, a locally owned home care agency, on the many benefits, including stress reduction, relaxation, improved circulation, and pain relief.  Massage can also provide symptomatic relief for common conditions that occur with age, such as arthritis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. 

A licensed massage therapist will be on hand to provide a demonstration, so come and enjoy the possibility of a short hands-on seated massage.  Non-members of CC@ H are welcome.
