December 14, 2009 - Massage isn't just a luxury anymore. Massage is now recognized as being very important to your health at all stages of your life. Add a massage into your weekly or monthly routine. Check with your insurance provider, as they might cover your massage treatments.

December 7, 2009 - In a more recent Touch Research Institute study, in review, researchers selected children to receive massage twice a week for a month to test the more long-term effect of massage and ADHD. Results showed that students were more productive in class, and their teachers rated them less hyperactive. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, according to the American Psychiatric Association, affects an estimated 3 to 5 percent of children, and the few studies on massage and ADHD that exist suggest positive results, which will only be strengthened with future research in this area.

November 30, 2009 - Massage therapy has been studied in pain management for a long time, and has been found to provide effective relief for a variety of conditions. A professional massage therapist can work with you to choose the type of massage that best fits your needs.

November 23, 2009 - Massage just feels good and you don't have to have a problem per se to benefit from it. Although, if you do have a medical problem or an injury, massage is a GREAT natural way to help heal the body!
