Re: RSS - MASSAGE ? for parents of kids w/ RSS and RSS adults

[Guest guest]

,

Dr. Yusef, a GI here at town Memorial Hospital, has started a

Mind/Body Institute to help children with GI problems through

massage, exercise and other stress-relieving, non-medical methods.

Max was one of the first to try it. He HATED the massages and the

touching. He was so tactially defensive that it actually made him

feel worse.

I am NOT saying that this is not a method to be considered, tried

and used for RSS kids. I think that the idea is a great one and has

many values. Max just does not react like most and that makes

things so difficult for us.

If your sister is approved for her paper, please consider me a

source for some feedback. I assume she wants negative as well as

positive experiences. Emailing me is the best way to assure I can

respond without distractions.

If your sister wants contact information for Dr. Yusef's program

(I'm not sure I am spelling his name correctly), let me know that,

too. He has been on TV for his program which I believe is

successful and breaking new grounds. It might be a source for her.

We did baby massage on Alyssa in her first year. We started it as soon as

we brought her home and did it for about a year or so. She always seemed to

enjoy it. She is very texture oriented and enjoys many types of textures.

We would be happy to speak with her or email her.

Subject: RSS - MASSAGE ? for parents of kids w/ RSS and RSS

adults

Hi,

My sister is considering doing her capstone 15 page paper on massage

and how it might help an RSS/SGA child (she is studying massage

therapy). She will know Tues if her paper topic is approved. Is

there anyone out there who has used massage (including any of the RSS

adults) and would be willing to talk/email my sister? Is there anyone

who would also be willing to email her with answers to some simple

questions (ie one of the questions is how might RSS affect a person's

day - any compensations etc)?

Finally, there is a homeopathic element - Beth Joe if you are willing

you seem to have the most experience with this...

Thanks!

I've been getting massages as a treat to myself a few times a year for the past

5 to 7 years,

I guess. It helped me to relax (except for my " tightest shoulders known to

man " ), though

only for short periods of time. Felt good, though <wink>.

If your sister would like to contact me, I can be reached at sharonkurland at

yahoo dot
