Did You Know?
Research has consistently shown that massage therapy enhances job
performance and reduces stress. Studies by the Touch Research
Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine have shown that
massage therapy has many positive effects. In one study,
researchers found that massaged workers had increased brain function
indicating greater alertness and decreased levels of stress hormones in
their saliva. Anxiety, depression, and job stress levels were
lower for test subjects who received chair massage twice a week for 5
weeks. Another study found that massage therapy reduced
stress levels even among people in very high-stress professions such as
hospital nursing and physician staff. Visit the Touch Research Institute to learn
more about research on the benefits of massage.
