Research
The Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami's School of Medicine has validated the positive effects of massage therapy on job performance and stress reduction. A short chair massage resulted in decreased job stress, increased alertness and a significant boost in productivity. Simple math computations were completed in half the time with half the errors following massage therapy.

According to Newsweek Magazine (April 6, 1998) "Doctors have started prescribing massage to help patients manage stress and pain. Scientists are now finding that massage can reduce blood pressure, boost the immune system, dampen harmful stress hormones and raise mood-elevating brain chemicals such as serotonin."
