Daily News Journal Article/January 2008
Research Message on Massage
These two studies are among recent controlled research that supports massage's beneficial effects on various conditions:
Migraines - A study in Annals of Behavioral Medicine (August 2006) reported that migraine sufferers who received weekly massages for six weeks had fewer migraines, felt less stress and slept better than those who didn't receive massages.
Cancer - A study in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research (July 2004) reported that women with breast cancer who received 15 massages over a five-week period had an increase in natural killer (NK) cells, a type of lymphocyte that works within the immune system to attach to cancer cells and release enzymes that kill them. These women also reported decreased anxiety, depression and anger, which went along with an increase in brain chemicals that act as mood enhancers.

Boston's Bodyworlds Exhibit
In an effort to continue my anatomic studies I made a trip to Boston (January 2007) to view the Bodyworlds exhibit that included over 200 views of the human body and its various organs.
This 'body art' exposes the intricacies of the human form. From musculature and internal organs to ligaments and skeletal structure, the detail that could be observed was amazing.
Featured in one of America's most historic cities this exhibit was truly impressive.
