You may wonder if there is scientific evidence on the stress reduction benefits of massage and other alternative therapies. Yes, there is.

 

Massage therapy also has been effective in reducing anxiety and job stress as well as enhancing job performance. In this study on job stress, biweekly chair massage decreases anxiety, depression, and anger among medical school employees. After the massage, subjects had more vigor and lower pulse and were able to complete math computations in half the time with half the errors. Electroencephalogram (EEG) waves were consistent with this pattern of heightened alertness and relaxation. The EEG pattern of heightened alertness included decreased alpha and decreased beta and theta waves. This pattern was consistent with improved math computations.
