Lowest Price of the Year Development of Modern MassageDuring the 1960s there was a backlash against the establishment and man made things that were seen to be destroying our environment and a resurgence of interest in natural ways of treating the body. Since then there has been an increasing interest in massage and its use to relieve stress and reduce the effects of some illnesses.
Today there is still some skepticism in the medical profession as to the scientific reasons behind the use of massage as a healing technique. Therefore in 1992 the Touch Research Institute was established at the University of Miami School of Medicine entirely devoted to the study of touch and its application in science and medicine. They have shown that massage can induce weight gain in premature infants, alleviate depressive symptoms, reduce stress hormones, alleviate pain and positively alter the immune system in children and adults with various medical conditions. Hence massage is becoming recognized as a viable and useful alternative or aid to modern medicine. In our modern society, where stress-related psychological disorders are becoming the number one health problem, massage is likely to gain increasing popularity to improve every body’s health and well-being.
