We all know that laughter is the best medicine & now seniors in Aged Care Facilities are reaping the benefits.  How you ask?  Laughter Therapy.

Yes, thats right, Laughter Therapy in Aged Care facilities is on the increase and not only are they having fun and a good laugh but it is also proving to be a huge success in their pain management, as Jeanie Sparks a writer for the Santa Maria Times recently found out.

Following the laughter session, everyone was asked if they had any pains go away. “My emotional ones,” one answered.

“I have chronic knee pain and it really helped. I didn’t think about it during the course of the session,” another said.

Their laughter leader then explained that laughter is more powerful than morphine and cancer patients benefit from it.
