Course Purpose
The purpose of this course is to counteract the ignorance which surrounds the efficacy of massage therapy. It also seeks to provide talking points from respected Western sources to encourage prospective massage patients/clients to seek massage therapy. This course presents summaries of research studies that have appeared in peer reviewed Western medical journals attesting to how well people with 37 different conditions responded to massage. The summaries include:
- the journal in which it appears
- the title of the article
- the authors
- the conclusions
- weblinks for each study
