A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that massage therapy was an effective modality in treating low back pain in a sample of about 400 patients aged 20 to 65 with chronic low back pain.
Patients received a one-hour massage treatment once a week over a ten week period. While the benefits of the 10 sessions diminished over time, the positive outcomes were still evident after six months.
This result is hardly surprising to the thousands of Massage Therapists and their clients already in the know.
