Zachary is a 11 year old client with Autism:

"Since Zachary began massage therapy almost a year ago, he has benefited in many ways.

1. Touch:  Zach at first pulled away from massage.  Now he asks for it and enjoys his sessions.  He now allows me to hug him.  

2. Anxiety:  Zach is calmed quite a bit by massage.  He is less aggressive when massaged and [since receiving massage therapy] I can calm him down at any time by massaging his face, arms, and back. 

3.  Constipation:  Zach really struggles with his bowels.  He would resist the body's natural need to eliminate waste and become constipated.  He was hospitalized numerous times [because of constipation].  Zach now is very regular with his bowels.  He has not needed laxatives any more.  In fact, after his therapy he always has a large BM every time.

4.  Cranial:  Zach has started the cranial massage.  I had not told his teachers; however, they commented he was focusing better, talking more, and more attentive in class. [They] asked if he was now getting cranial massage.  They were very impressed with his results.

Overall, I firmly believe that the massage therapy has benefited him far more than I had ever hoped.  We plan on continuing his massage therapy as long as possible."
