Elephants are the most revered animals in India. They are the part of the Indian festivals. On the other hand they are the main attractions of zoo's and the wildlife sanctuaries. They work extremely hard to lure thousands of visitors everyday. Can anyone just imagine with what and how much pain these jumbos go through.

Keeping all this in view Massage therapist, Elke Riesterer is willing to conduct a massage therapy session for the Asian Elephants. Elke has worked six years with the African elephants at Oakland zoo in California. According to her the animals here are far more tensed and this is mainly due to the conditions they live in and the way they are being treated. She said there is a need to provide training programmes to the owner of the elephants, mahouts and even to their veterinary doctors, so that they can treat and understand the elephants more closely.

Elephants are usually nomadic in nature. They keep on moving from one place to another place in search of food. Asian elephants go through such a hectic schedule and the conditions they live in are very unnatural. You can easily feel that the elephant is stressed, when you look into their eyes, or you can easily make it out through their body language and the restlessness in their body. It will be totally unfair if we do not find out the ways, which can actually destress these elephants.

Massaging is the great way to rejuvenate and it is equally beneficial for the elephants too. It is somehow becoming the popular tool to alleviate the physical and the emotional stress of the animals.It is the best way to provide kindness and comfort to the animals. Elephants need a proper scrub bath and oil massage all over the body for relaxation after the long day hard work. The most important part of the massaging is to win the trust of the animals. Otherwise massaging elephants is no different to massaging the human beings. They are most intelligent the most sensitive in nature. They give you some kind of signals when they feel good or relaxed. Because of their immense religious importance in India, Government too is looking into the aspect seriously.
