The respectful and nurturing nature of therapeutic touch can help and support the students’ physical, mental, and emotional needs. Massage Therapy supports the rhythmical processes and systems within the body, while having an energising and relaxing effect. The massage session is designed according to individual needs and is based on each student’s response.

Some of the benefits that Massage Therapy offers to students with special needs are:

• Improving relaxation, reducing anxiety and, therefore, better engagement in tasks and daily routines.
• Improving emotional wellbeing.
• Improving body awareness and acceptance.
• Strengthening the immune system and supporting a range of health conditions.
