Massage Care & Risk-Benefit Analyses
28 November 2007The National University of Health Sciences in Illinois asked 100 people to take a survey about the after affects of a massage. All 91 clients that returned surveys, showed an improvement in overall well being after the massage. About 10 percent of clients reported minor discomfort starting less then 12 hours after treatment, but no major negative side effects from this small survey were reported.
The amount of people seeking out massage is on a steep incline. This is good it brings out more research studies, which in turn gives us more exposure and free advertising. Keeping in mind this was done with students of massage and most likely one type of massage, with limited amount of people. But hay, it’s a great start.
