Hi Andrea,
Many thanks for contacting me. I've actually finished
my paper and the course it was for.

To my knowledge, there is not special type of massage
for a person with Addison's Disease. However, through
my research, I discovered that massage can be
beneficial for Addisonians by reducing aniexty and
stress and helping to decrease muscle and joint
discomfort or pain.

Thanks,
Kathleen
