Recently an old friend called me and asked me if I would do massage
On a friend of hers who has ALS. She asked me because years
Before I did bodywork on her. She said my style of bodywork/healing
work has always stayed in her mind as amazing and highly effective. I told her I will work with her friend who is 42 years old. She cannot move her body at all. She has a very slight ability to turn her neck but very little. When I am with her she will ask me to reposition her head for her. She can speak but very quietly. She can chew food and swallow but has to be fed.
Bodywork/massage is very helpful for her. It gives her immense relief
and relaxation. I have work with many different conditions. This is the first time with an ALS patient.
I’ve been seeing her about once a week foe almost 3 months. I’ve been
Reading as much as I can about this disease to help me understand how I can best help her. Your article is very interesting and the comments from all of the individuals that have ALS and friends or relatives of them were very moving. I want to give my friend the best care possible. I want to learn as much as I can to help me help her.
Thank you for allowing me to express myself. There are very few people I can talk to that have any understanding or knowledge of ALS.
Again thank you, Faith
