This eight-hour class prepares students to work with the elderly population to address the general complaints that arise with the aging process.

There will be a review of some of the common physiological changes that occur in this stage of life, particularly to the skin and the musculoskeletal system, as well as the most common conditions and pathologies in this population. These include fragility, general stiffness, range of motion limitations, and a variety of conditions including arthritis, old injuries, post-surgical scars and adhesions, and osteoporosis, among others. Ways of working with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s, as well as depression and anxiety, will be addressed. Students will learn effective adaptations to treatment, such as levels of pressure, pacing, use of props, working with the client in a variety of positions on the table, a recliner, or bed, with or without clothing, and with or without lubricant.

Hygiene and safety concerns will be addressed, as well as communication style and the creation of a trusting, safe environment for working with the elderly.

Great article either posted or written by I.C.Tiran.
I didn't post original and didn't check the references.
It was posted by Christine below and she made the astrological reference.

YOUR HANDS EMIT A MEASURABLE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD THAT CAN ACCELERATE HEALING IN ANOTHER PERSON. THIS IS NOT BELIEF. THIS IS PHYSICS.

In 1992, John Zimmerman at the University of Colorado School of Medicine placed a SQUID magnetometer — the most sensitive magnetic field detector on Earth — near the hands of therapeutic touch practitioners during healing sessions.

What he measured should have ended every debate about energy healing permanently.

The hands emitted a pulsing biomagnetic field ranging from 0.3 Hz to 30 Hz. Not random. Not static. Pulsing. In the exact same frequency range that medical researchers had already proven accelerates tissue repair.

2 Hz stimulates nerve regeneration.
7 Hz stimulates bone growth.
10 Hz stimulates ligament healing.
15 Hz stimulates capillary formation.
20 Hz stimulates skin repair.

The hands were cycling through these frequencies automatically. Without the practitioner consciously choosing them. As if the hands already knew what the damaged tissue needed.

This was not one study. In 1989, Dr. Akira Seto in Japan independently measured the same biomagnetic emission from the hands of healers — at levels 1,000 times stronger than normal human biofield output. Published in the Journal of the International Society of Life Information Science.

In 2003, researcher Ann Baldwin at the University of Arizona demonstrated that Reiki practitioners' hand emissions caused measurable changes in bacterial growth rates. Not belief. Not placebo. Bacteria do not have beliefs. They responded to the field.
Your hands contain the highest concentration of nerve endings in your entire body — 17,000 mechanoreceptors in each palm. They also contain some of the strongest bioelectric generators in your body. When a mother places her hand on her child's forehead, she is not just checking temperature. She is transmitting a frequency.
Every ancient healing tradition on Earth — Chinese Qigong, Japanese Reiki, Indian Pranic healing, Christian laying on of hands

— described the same thing: healing energy flowing through the palms. Thousands of years. Every continent. Every culture. The same claim.

Modern science measured it. Confirmed it. Published it. And then pretended it did not happen.

Your hands are not just tools. They are transmitters. And the signal they send is strong enough to change the biology of another living being.

They taught you to wash your hands. They never taught you what your hands can actually do.
