Get Rid Of Insomnia And Sleeping
Problems With Massage Therapy
 One study involving a patient with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder
causing extreme sleepiness, sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and
in some cases episodes of partial or complete loss muscle
control. For this 23-year-old woman from Ontario quality sleep
has been far from reach. Because of the way her illness
manifests itself, she found it difficult to overcome sleeping
challenges and described her sleeping patterns as frustrating
and difficult.
 The study involved undergoing 40-minute massage sessions
once a week for five weeks. The technique focused on legs, back
and abdomen and required rapid and deep movements. At the
end of the study, the woman reported a 123% overall positive
change in both quality of sleep and everyday life.
