Some of the most heartfelt comments i have seen from patients are those who received massage as part of their hospital care. #nccamchat
Many studies of massage show reduction in depression or depressive symptoms. Anxiety is also frequently reduced. #nccamchat
Adding massage to other wellness practices (e.g. meditation, acupuncture, exercise) can be a synergistic approach to health. #nccamchat
