Thank you Adams for your support in building awareness!
It's World Autism Awareness Day!!
Here is a message from Jeremy D. RMT, who is passionate about learning and educating about his family's journey and other who's lives include life on the Autism Spectrum:
All month long conversations are being held to educate, share stories and celebrate those with Autism and their supportive networks. My family’s journey with Autism... has greatly informed how I practice Massage Therapy. I am fortunate here at Adams Massage Therapy and Wellness Center with a great team eager to grow, learn and aid each other so we can better serve and support the diverse needs of the people of Barrie and the surrounding areas.
Relaxing music, soft lights, calming smells, soothing touch, deep pressure, empowering the individual; all these things can aid in the health and wellness of neuro-typical and atypical alike in a world that can feel so overwhelming, even during the best of times.
Autism is a spectrum and manifests in a number of ways... [and] although Autism-specific Massage Therapy research is in its infancy, our knowledge on best practices is always expanding.... If you or someone you know on the spectrum may benefit from Massage Therapy or any of the other services here at Adams, you are welcome to touch base with us through email, phone call or in-person! Together, we can work to make a treatment plan to aid in health and wellness and address any needs or accommodations as best we can.
We strive to bring health, happiness and wellness to our neighbours and community. Strike up a conversation with us and see how we can help!
