Is there a wonder why with 17,000 nerve endings & touch receptors in the palm of the hands, that touch can release the happy hormone? With the field size of receptors on the back, isn’t it great that a back massage can trigger such a positive chain of events: increase in happy hormones, increase in circulation, pain relief, emotional reset, increase in range of movement, lower blood pressure….and more.
So, even when your littlest lady is poorly and you’re suffering with a serious lack of sleep, a ‘Mummy, can I hold your hand?’ is enough to shift any bad mood!

Touch!
