Abstract
In recent years, psychologists, as well as other mental health and allied health professionals, have rediscovered the potential value of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for health and well-being. One such CAM modality is massage therapy. This article examines the evidence for the value of applications of massage therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, and related conditions, including anxiety.
