RESEARCH FINDINGS: according to article in The Wall Street Journal Health & Wellness March 13, 2012
A
10-minute massage upped mitochondria production, and reduced proteins
associated with inflammation in muscles that had been exercised to
exhaustion, a small study last month found.
A
full-body massage boosted immune function and lowered heart rate and
blood pressure in women with breast cancer undergoing radiation
treatment, a 2009 study of 20 participants found.
"There
is emerging evidence that (massage) can make contributions in treating
things like pain, where conventional medicine doesn't have all the
answers," said Jack Kllen, NCCAM's deputy director.
