You can go in and feel a muscle spasm or feel the pulse in the Bain and help to stop migraines. More and more people have been coming to us for migraines. | “It is getting back to the roots before science lid drugs,” Murphy said. “It is more personal. It is Important for everyone to get a full body massage. It relaxes you and helps with you blood flow.” ■ Murphy said touch is healing and it makes •ffi'feveryone feel better. I “Since we were little we have been told, ‘do not touch other people,’” she said. “Everybody thinks a hug makes them feel better, but we don’t let peo ple touch us. Touch can make you feel better.” Victoria Pons, a junior business major, said he had her first massage after she got into a jar accident. “After a car accident, I had to go to a chiro- Bractor, and having a massage was part of my re habilitation,” Pons said. “It was to relax the mus cles because I had whiplash. I needed it for my back and shoulders.” “It helped a lot with my day to day activities,” she said. “It helped with the soreness and the stress from the day. It was really relaxing.” Pons said she had to lie stomach-down on a special table. “There was a cut out for your face to fit,” she said. “They put this cream on you and it would heat up. Then they would rub the mus cle to take away the soreness. Once they start working, you start drifting in and out of sleep. But you feel so refreshed; it is like you had slept all night and that you can take on the rest of the day.” Pons said from her experience with massage at the chiropractor’s she recommends students to get a massage. “It did not feel weird having them touch you,” she said. “You know that they are professional, and in my case they were nurses and medical personnel so it made me feel even more com fortable. There are some students who definite ly need to have massages. They need the help.” With the beginning of finals rolling around Friday, students are picking up tips to help them stay up and conquer their finals. However, most students would not consider the relaxing techniques of a massage. So, when the back begins to ache from the all- nighters and those shoulders become twisted into knots, think about squeezing in a massage before the noon molecular genetics final.
