A massage could banish mood swings, bloating, headaches, weight gain, and other PMS symptoms, according to a study by the Touch Research Institute and University of Miami Medical School. Researchers there found that regular massage sessions lessened symptoms of premenstrual syndrome in women age 19 to 45.

It soothes anxiety and depression

Women diagnosed with breast cancer who received massage therapy three times a week reported being less depressed and less angry, according to a 2005 study, published in the International Journal of Neuroscience.

A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry found that patients who were depressed and anxious were much more relaxed and happy, and had reduced stress levels after massage.

Massage benefits chronic pain relief

Sufferers of chronic soft tissue pain (arthritis, fibromyalgia, disc problems, and degenerative joints) can find relief after only a few massage therapy sessions, says Nancy M. Porambo, a licensed massage therapist with the American Massage Therapy Association.

 

Massage can help treat side effects of cancer

Researchers in Boston found that patients with metastatic cancer reported better sleep, less pain, and overall better quality of life after receiving massage therapy. Similarly, a 2004 study at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City found that massage therapy (Swedish, light touch, and foot massage) reduced symptoms like pain, nausea, fatigue, depression, and stress in cancer patients.
