ABTRACTObjective:to evaluate the effectiveness of massage and reiki in the reduction of stress and anxiety in clients at the Institute for Integrated and Oriental Therapy in Sao Paulo (Brazil). Method:clinical tests randomly done in parallel with an initial sample of 122 people divided into three groups: Massage + Rest (G1), Massage + Reiki (G2) and a Control group without intervention (G3). The Stress Systems list and the Trace State Anxiety Inventory were used to evaluate the groups at the start and after 8 sessions (1 month), during 2015. Results:there were statistical differences (p = 0.000) according to the ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) for the stress amongst the groups 2 and 3 (p = 0.014) with a 33% reductions and a Cohen of 0.78. In relation to anxiety-state, there was a reduction in the intervention groups compared with the control group (p < 0.01) with a 21% reduction in group 2 (Cohen of 1.18) and a 16% reduction for group 1 (Cohen of 1.14). Conclusion:Massage + Reiki produced better results amongst the groups and the conclusion is for further studies to be done with the use of a placebo group to evaluate the impact of the technique separate from other techniques.

BackgroundThe high incidence and inconsistencies in diagnostic and therapeutic process of low back pain (LBP) stimulate the continuing search for more efficient treatment modalities. Integration of the information obtained with various therapeutic methods and a holistic approach to the patient seem to be associated with positive outcomes.The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy of combined treatment with McKenzie method and Muscle Energy Technique (MET), and to compare it with the outcomes of treatment with McKenzie method or standard physiotherapy in specific chronic lumbar pain.Material/MethodsThe study included 60 men and women with LBP (mean age 44 years). The patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 therapeutic groups, which were further treated with: 1) McKenzie method and MET, 2) McKenzie method alone, or 3) standard physiotherapy for 10 days. The extent of spinal movements (electrogoniometry), level of experienced pain (Visual Analogue Scale and Revised Oswestry Pain Questionnaire), and structure of the spinal discs (MRI) were examined prior to the intervention, immediately thereafter, and 3 months after the intervention.ResultsMcKenzie method enriched with MET had the best therapeutic outcomes. The mobility of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine normalized at levels corresponding to 87.1%, 66.7%, and 95% of respective average normative values. Implementation of McKenzie method, both alone and combined with MET, was associated with a significant decrease in Oswestry Disability Index, significant alleviation of pain (VAS), and significantly reduced size of spinal disc herniation.ConclusionsThe combined method can be effectively used in the treatment of chronic LBP.

“…The results indicated that the classical massage brought improvement in the level of comfort, decreased fatigue, sleep of the participants of classical massage group compared to the control patients. (29) This study showed that physical therapy, through the classic massage, does not eliminate the neurological damage that progresses the disease, but can act in the treatment of specific symptoms favoring the welfare and functionality of patients with MS. It is therefore necessary to search the incentive effects of beneficial massage also in EM, targeting more functionality and well-being in relation to the signs and symptoms manifest.…”

Background: Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease, inflammatory that affects the white matter of the central nervous system, resulting in neurological signs and symptoms that after the outbreaks, may leave sequels as the location of the lesion. Symptoms may include loss of double vision, muscle weakness, lack of balance, numbness, pain, problem in the control of the bladder and bowel, fatigue, emotional changes and intellectual impairment. Objective: To describe the effects and compromise in carrier of multiple sclerosis, to check the efficiency of classical massage in reduction of symptoms and their influence on the performance of activities of daily living. Method/Design: It is a study of controlled clinical trial with a convenience sample of individuals already framed in clinical school of physical therapy at the University Nine July (Uninove). Eight were selected individuals diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, between 30 and 50 years of age, without dermatological problems for the application of classical massage. The subjects were evaluated before and after the proposed intervention consists of 20 sessions of classical massage performed twice a week having a duration of 40 minutes each session. Results: In the first three months, there have been significant results demonstrated the functional assessment (MIF), but from the sixth to the twelve months remained functional stability. The quality of life (SF-36) showed that in pre-requirements of General Condition, Vitality, Social, Emotional and Mental, was increased in the first nine months and after this period, the results were not significant. In the evaluation of the balance by the scale of Berg in the first three months did not show satisfactory results, but from the third month to the sixth month there was a significant increase in the balance. The sensitivity surface showed an increase after the sixth month of application of classical massage, keeping up to twelve months proposed by the study. In profound sensitivity presented significant results from nine months of treatment. Conclusions: The present study showed that the physical therapy, through the classical massage, does not eliminate the neurological damage that attends the disease, but can act in the treatment of specific symptoms favoring the well-being and the features of patients with multiple sclerosis.
