Massage Therapy: Chronic Pain and Depression

Massage Therapy: Chronic Pain and Depression

Can massage therapy reduce depression in people suffering from chronic pain?

Statistics suggest that roughly 35 to 45% of people who have chronic pain also experience depression.

Pain and depression are closely related. Depression can cause pain and pain can cause depression.

Research shows massage can improve mood and reduce depression in those living with chronic pain.

A study on women with chronic back pain found their depressive symptoms and negative body image were significantly reduced after receiving massage along the back, neck, and dorsal limbs.
  
Healthcare continues evolving to less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, placing massage therapy as a complementary healthcare choice.
