BAYLOR UNIVERSITY PUBLISHES LARGEST STUDY EVER ON MASSAGE THERAPY USE

July 2024

"Many people receive massage therapy and for many reasons. But according to a new study – the largest and most comprehensive ever conducted on the subject – the prevalence of visits to massage therapists is higher than one might have imagined and the reasons may be surprising."

“What our study shows is that it’s probably not helpful any longer to label massage as an ‘alternative’ therapy, with all of the marginality that the term conveys.”

“Licensed massage therapists ought to be respected as mainstream practitioners, whose profession provides a therapeutic approach not just to address pain and functional challenges but to foster wellness and overall well-being, physical and emotional.

Everyone can benefit from working with a skilled massage therapist. They’re the hidden gems in the healthcare system.” - Jeff Levin, Ph.D., M.P.H., University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health. (Robert Rogers/Baylor University)

What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body which aids in healing by helping people become energetically balanced - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. In addition, it can:
• Bring on a meditative state
• Foster tissue and bone healing after injury or surgery
• Stimulate your body’s immune system
• Promote natural self-healing
• Relieve pain and tension
• Support the well-being of people receiving traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and kidney dialysis

Reiki complements other types of medical and therapeutic treatments, and it can increase the efficacy of these treatments. If you’re already in good health, regular Reiki treatments can enhance your ability to respond to stress and serve as a form of preventive medicine.

Reiki isn’t specific to any particular type of disease or condition but may help people with:
• Cancer
• Chronic pain
• Infertility
• Digestive problems
• Parkinson’s disease
• Psychological distress, including depression and anxiety
• Stress-related illnesses
• Reiki can also help you prepare for surgery, which may help boost your recovery afterward

How does Reiki work?
Reiki practitioners act as a conduit between you and the source of the universal life force energy. The energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to you.

What happens during a Reiki session?
Reiki treatments typically last about 50 minutes. During a session, you’ll lie on a massage table fully clothed, as the Reiki practitioner gently places their hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations. The length of time that the practitioner leaves their hands in each location is determined by the flow of energy at each location. Reiki differs from other touch therapies in that there is no pressure, massage or manipulation involved.

What does Reiki feel like?
You may experience the energy in the form of sensations like heat, tingling or pulsing where the Reiki practitioner has placed their hands. Sometimes, people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all. Most people feel very relaxed and peaceful during reiki treatment, and many fall asleep during the process.
