It showcases a great amount of scientific evidence that supports massage therapy as a great intervention for any neuro-muscular  condition.
One of the obstacles that I face as a Massage Therapist is people saying that there is no science to back it up. This is simply not true. Please check out the link to learn more about medical case studies that support Massage Therapy.

Tiffany Field P. H. D.

There is no one more responsible for conducting evidence based studies that prove the health benefits of massage than Tiffany Field. Back in 1982 she began her studies, and by 1992 she established the touch research institute at the university of Miami school of medicine.


Early on she became known for a study that showed premature infants would gain more weight if they had massage. She has been involved in more than 350 medical journal articles.

According to her studies, there is not a single condition that dose not improve when massage is applied.
