In this issue of To Your Health: You don't have to look too far to find a person with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or someone caring for a family member with this devastating condition. While teaching massage therapists about working with people with Alzheimer's disease, common questions - and misperceptions - emerge. Sound information gives us a foundation from which to act and increases our comfort level to understanding this special population. The stresses of daily life often show up in a very public way: posted right on our faces for all to see. In particular, "frowning furrows" in the area between the brows (vertical glabellar folds) may become a permanent fixture as time records our mimetic habits, etching our emotions into the dreaded lines and deep creases that we often associate with aging. The techniques to counter those frowning furrows are simple, so empty your hands and let's take the first step in erasing those lines. Remarkable Stories From a Remarkable Profession When the 9/11 terrorist attacks hit the United States, we were stunned, shocked, and then, in the aftermath, amazed by the heart-felt expressions of humanity and the true character of the people who make up this amazingly compassionate massage therapy profession. Author Liz Pasquale's selfless tribute to the men and women who worked countless hours recovering those buried under the rubble of the World Trade Center collapse is truly one of the most extraordinary stories reported in Massage Today.
