The University of Miami School of Medicine Touch Research Institute, devoted
solely to the scientific study of touch and its application in the fields of
science and medicine, has published over eighty-three research studies
regarding the benefits of massage therapy. Briefly, the conclusions are that
massage relaxes tight muscles, fascia, and adhesions, normalizing dysfunctional
connective tissues, relieving spasms, improving mobility and circulation,
facilitation the flow of interstitial fluid, helping to eliminate toxins, and
is a major contributor to healthy homeostasis. It also improves mood, decreases
depression and anxiety, improves sleep patterns, increases natural painkillers,
enhances alertness, and strengthens the immune systems |
An acupressurist works with the same points used in acupuncture, stimulating
these points with finger pressure, rather than inserting acupuncture needles.
