Massage Therapy and Pain

• Back pain: More than one study has shown the effectiveness of massage therapy for back pain. 
• Headache: Responds to massage therapy. Some studies suggest that massage therapy can improve sleep and reduce the number of migraines a person has.
• Osteoarthritis: In the first clinical trial looking at the effectiveness of Swedish massage for knee osteoarthritis, participants who received a one-hour massage either one or two times a week had improvements in pain, stiffness, and function. The control group had no such change.
• Fibromyalgia: Studies show that over a course of 5 weeks, massage therapy can improve symptoms such as pain, anxiety, and depression.
