Massage as relief for Parkinson’s
Many people living with Parkinson’s disease experience stiffness, tremor, pain and fatigue. Massage can bring a lighter body and a more manageable everyday life.

Touch that calms the nervous system
Touch can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the part linked to calm, recovery and safety. For people with Parkinson’s, it is not only about stiffness and pain, but also about regulating tension, breathing and body awareness.
Research on therapeutic massage points to better mobility, less rigidity, better circulation and more relaxation after treatment.
How it can feel
- Stiffness can ease and muscles become more flexible
- Tremor can settle
- Circulation and warmth can increase
- Less pain and more wellbeing
- Many feel calmer, lighter and more collected after a session
Massage does not replace medical treatment, but it can be a valuable supplement that makes everyday life better and the body more mobile.

Body, breath and attention
Together with the pianist Annabel Guaita, I explore how contact with the body affects the nervous system. When attention calms down and the body gets support to regulate itself, concrete changes happen: breathing deepens, the pulse drops, and the body feels more collected.
The goal of the treatments is not only relief in the moment, but a more lasting change in how the body is experienced and used.
