Somewhere along the way, massage was labeled a “once-in-a-while indulgence.” But your nervous system says otherwise. Massage regulates your stress hormones. It soothes your vagus nerve. It balances your energy. It creates hormonal harmony. It helps bring nervous system homeostasis. That isn't luxury. That is maintenance. That is hygiene. That is prevention. That is nervous system care.

Benefits of massage therapy Massage is an important part of treating specific health conditions and restoring function. Learn about the many benefits.

Pain is currently recognized as the most compelling reason for an individual to seek medical attention from a general practitioner, and accounts for approximately 80% of physician visits

It is often represented as a complex process, affecting individuals differently as the severity, frequency, and duration of pain conditions can vary within each condition.

Pain is an experience that is multi-dimensional; not only does it impact individuals physically, but also socially, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually

As pain persists and worsens, it can interfere with daily activities, significantly impair performance of social responsibilities in work and family life, and negatively affect psychological health and quality of life.
In fact, evidence supports the close interaction between pain and various function outcomes (e.g., functional, emotional, psychosocial domains) which often affect and intensify each other.

Based on the evidence, massage therapy, compared to no treatment, should be strongly recommended as a pain management option. Massage therapy is weakly recommended for reducing pain, compared to other sham or active comparators, and improving mood and health-related quality of life, compared to other active comparators.

In The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der Kolk emphasizes that trauma is held in the body's physical sensations and tensions, making touch therapies like MASSAGE crucial for healing. He notes that "the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience" and "the most natural way that we humans calm down our distress is by being touched, hugged, and rocked".
