Tramatic experiences such as war, assault, abuse or devastating loss can cause post-traumatic stress. This disorder affects those who are unable to relegate their experiences to the past. Traumatic experiences can reinforce the notion that life delicate and can be altered at any time, often beyond our own control.

Many who experience PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) have recurring symptoms that relate negatively on their emotional and physical well-being. Victims are uncomfortable with their own bodies. In combination with speaking with a trained counselor, therapeutic massage is being used to help those with PTSD become more secure and comfortable in their own skin.

Chair massage is very useful in this treatment program as it does not require the user to become disrobed. It also eliminates the discomfort and anxiety that those with PTSD associate with the touch of another person. With a chair massage the user can allow themselves to relax and accept the massage without the stress of feeling vulnerable.

Chair massage provides a safe way for the user to appreciate touch and to gradually allow themselves to let go of physical pain. The interface with the chair allows the user to have complete control which strengthens the users self confidence, seeing where they can have control in their own lives.
