Book a Massage and reap the rewards....

The Australian Association of Massage Therapy have recently released their report of the effectiveness of Massage therapy and here are some of their findings:

• The evidence suggested that Massage therapy achieved significant patient satisfaction and reduction in pain levels, both in the short and longer term, as well as potential benefits in acute or chronic lower back pain.
• Multiple studies provided good evidence for Massage therapy in managing anxiety, stress and promoting relaxation.
• Massage was effective in modulating the physiological stress response as reflected in reduction of heart rate and blood pressure.
• Alongside anxiety and stress, other positive outcomes from Massage therapy include pain reduction, improved sleep, function, depressive symptoms, and quality-of-life amongst others.
• Positive outcome measures that were reported include reduction in infant distress, reduced length of newborn hospitalisation, significant newborn growth and development, improved mother-infant interaction, and symptoms of post-natal depression.
• Acupressure effective for the management of nausea and vomiting.
