An examination was made of how differences in the proficiency of massage practitioners had different physical and psychological effects on clients.
Eight healthy 50-year-old females, suffering from chronic neck and shoulder stiffness, were recruited and four interventions were conducted: three 40-minute massage therapy interventions, one each by a freshman and a sophomore student studying massage therapy, and one by their instructor, and one rest on the massage table. Visual analogue scale score for muscle stiffness in the neck and shoulder, state anxiety score, and salivary cortisol concentration levels and secretory immunoglobulin A, were measured pre- and post- interventions.
Visual analogue scale of neck and shoulder stiffness after massage by the instructor was significantly lower than that after the other interventions, and the score of state anxiety was lower than that after resting.
研究按摩从业者的熟练程度差异如何对客户产生不同的生理和心理影响。
招募了八名患有慢性颈部和肩部僵硬的50岁健康女性，进行了四项干预措施：三项40分钟的按摩治疗干预，分别由一名按摩治疗专业大一学生、一名大二学生和他们的指导教师各进行一次，以及一次在按摩床上休息。在干预前后测量颈部和肩部肌肉僵硬的视觉模拟量表评分、状态焦虑评分、唾液皮质醇浓度水平和分泌型免疫球蛋白A。
指导教师按摩后颈部和肩部僵硬的视觉模拟量表评分显著低于其他干预后的评分，状态焦虑评分低于休息后的评分。
