Massage and PMS

Massage can be used to treat PMS. A study was done by the Touch Institute of Miami to find out what effect massage can have of women who suffer from PMS.

In the study, 24 women ages 19 to 45 with a severe form of PMS were studied. Half of the women recieved 30-minute massages twice a week for 5 weeks. The other group did relaxation exercises for 30 minutes twice a week.

At the end of the study, the women who recieved massage reported decreases in depression, bloating, perceived pain, and anxiety.
