Field, T., Grizzle, N., Scafidi, F., & Schanberg, S. (1996). Massage and relaxation therapies' effects on depressed adolescent mothers. Adolescence, 31, 903-911.
Thirty-two depressed adolescent mothers received ten 30-minute sessions of massage therapy or relaxation therapy over a five-week period. Subjects were randomly assigned to each group. Although both groups reported lower anxiety following their first and final sessions, although only the massage therapy group showed behavioral and stress hormone changes, including a decrease in anxious behavior, heartrate and cortisol levels.
Ironson, G., Field, T.M., Scafidi, F., Hashimoto, M., Kumar, M., Kumar, A., Price, A., Goncalves, A., Burman, I. , Tetenman, C., Patarca, R. & Fletcher, M.A. (1996). Massage therapy is associated with enhancement of the immune system's cytotoxic capacity. International Journal of Neuroscience, 84, 205-217.
Twenty nine gay men with HIV received massage for 1 month. Major immune findings for the effects of the month of massage included an increase in Natural Killer Cell number. Major neuroendocrine findings included a decrease in cortisol. Anxiety also decreased and relaxation increased which were correlated with increased in NK cell numbers.
Sunshine, W., Field, T.M., Quintino, O., Fierro, K., Kuhn, C., Burman, I. & Schanberg, S. (1996). Fibromyalgia benefits from massage therapy and transcutaneous electrical stimulation. Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 2, 18-22.
Adult fibromyalgia syndrome subjects were randomly assigned to a massage therapy, a transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS), or a transcutaneous electrical stimulation no-current group for 30-minute treatment sessions two times per week for 5 weeks. The massage therapy subjects reported lower anxiety and depression, and their cortisol levels were lower immediately after the therapy sessions on the first and last days of the study. The TENS group showed similar changes, but only after therapy on the last day of the study.
Field, T., Hernandez-Reif, M., Taylor , S., Quintino, O., & Burman, I. (1997). Labor pain is reduced by massage therapy. Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynecology, 18, 286-291.
Twenty-eight women were recruited from prenatal classes and randomly assigned to receive massage in addition to coaching in breathing from their partners during labor , or to receive coaching in breathing alone. The massaged mothers reported a decrease in depressed mood, anxiety and pain, and showed less agitated activity and anxiety and more positive affect following the first massage during labor. In addition the massaged mothers had shorter labors, a shorter hospital stay and less postpartum depression.
Field, T., Quintino, O., Henteleff, T., Wells-Keife, L. & Delvecchio-Feinberg, G. (1997). Job stress reduction therapies. Alternative Therapies, 3, 54-56.
The immediate effects of brief massage therapy, music relaxation with visual imagery, muscle relaxation, and social support group sessions were assessed in 100 hospital employees at a major public hospital. The effects of the therapies were assessed using a within-subjects pre-post test design and by comparisons across groups. The groups reported decreased anxiety, depression, fatigue, and confusion, as well as increased vigor following the session.
Field, T.M., Sunshine, W., Hernandez-Reif, M., Quintino, O., Schanberg, S., Kuhn, C., & Burman, I. (1997). Massage therapy effects on depression and somatic symptoms in chronic fatigue syndrome. Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 3, 43-51.
Twenty subjects with chronic fatigue immunodeficiency syndrome were randomly assigned either to a massage therapy or an attention control group. Although depression and anxiety scores were initially as high as clinically depressed patients, analyses of the before versus after therapy session measures on the first and last day of treatment revealed that immediately following massage therapy depression scores, pain, and cortisol levels decreased more in the massage versus control group.

El Masaje un lujo o una necesidad?
El masaje se ha usado por cientos de anos, en la antigua Grecia como parte de su medicina. El padre de la medicina Hippocrates decía, todo medico debe de saber como hacer anatripsis (masaje en griego) por que a través de esta modalidad habían muchas curas a diferentes condiciones. Pero con el tiempo al igual que tu eres lo que comes, se fue al olvido de la medicina occidental. Hoy en día esta volviendo poco a poco a tomar la fama que tenia en la antigüedad. El masaje se ha hecho muchas investigaciones recientes para mas información pueden ir a la pagina del Touch Research Institute o Massage Magazine tiene una parte solamente sobre investigaciones sobre la eficacia del masaje. Mas del 90% de las razones por las cuales las personas van al doctor son causadas por el estrés con eso nada mas te pone a pensar en verdad necesitas un medicamento? Lo que necesitas es un masaje para volver a un estado de bienestar libre de estrés y todas las complicaciones que este trae. Muchas personas me dicen el masaje es un lujo yo les digo es una necesidad. Cuanto cuesta un órgano? Por que cada vez que tomamos una pastilla sin tener que tomarla estamos matando esos órganos hígado y rinones. Que es el costo de un masaje comparado a un transplante de un órgano? Si pones todo en una balanza te darás cuenta que el masaje es mas que un lujo, es una necesidad para el ser humano.

El Masaje de Tejido Profundo duele?
El masaje de Tejido profundo duele? Pues si y no. Esa seria la contestacion que le daria a mis clientes cuando preguntan. Y me mirarian con una cara de confusion. Pero el masaje de tejido profundo se dedica a romper las fibras musculares que se mantienen en contractura por mucho tiempo causado por la mala postura. El presionar puntos de presion que causan e irradian dolor es una de las muchas formas de arreglar este problema. El dolor debe ser algo entre el dolor y el placer, nada que te haga tratar de salir corriendo por la puerta gritando me quiere matar!! Sino un dolor que uno dice: Me duele pero sigue que se siente bien. Esta es la diferencia entre un dolor terapeutico y el dolor normal. Asi que la proxima vez que usted visite su terapeuta y el este dando el masaje y no pare de presionar cuando usted se queja. Ya sabe que tienes el derecho de decirle al tarapeuta eso es demasiado dolor. No hay razon por que estar adolorido o con moretones. Aunque hasta el mejore terapeuta se le puede pasar la mano debes en cuando. Especialmente sino hay una comunicacion activa entre el cliente y el terapeuta. Mantengan siempre una comunicacion abierta y el resultado de tu terapia sera mucho mas efectivo.
