A Preliminary Study of the Effects of a Single Session
of Swedish Massage on Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal and Immune
Function in Normal Individuals.
By M Hyman Rapaport, P Schettler, C Bresee.
Research at the Department of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Neurosciences at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles,
California, set out to determine the effects of just one single session
of Swedish massage on neuroendocrine function and immune function.
The study concluded that “Preliminary data suggest
that a single session of Swedish Massage Therapy produces measurable
biologic effects. If replicated, these findings may have implications
for managing inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.”
