Murphy said to become a registered mas-
Aftt;;sLge therapist she had to go through school
id receive training.
“You need to know a lot of anatomy and phys-
jlogy,” she said. “It helps because you can find
fid feel where the problem is and instead of just
Beating the problem you could fix it. 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.
