Massage
Massage therapy is used to manage health conditions or enhance wellness. Its uses include:
  • Relieving pain. Studies show that massage therapy may provide short-term relief from knee pain associated with osteoarthritis and neck and shoulder pain.
  • Supportive care for cancer patients. With appropriate precautions, massage therapy can be part of supportive care for cancer patients who would like to try it; however, the evidence that it can relieve pain and anxiety is not strong.
  • Helping control fibromyalgia symptoms. Massage therapy may relieve some fibromyalgia symptoms if continued for long enough.
  • Promoting growth in premature infants. There’s evidence that premature babies who are massaged may have improved weight gain.
