What Are the Benefits of Foot Massage After Colon Surgery?
According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, or NCCAM, massage therapy dates back thousands of years to the empires in China, Japan, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome. More recently in the 1970s massage had a resurgence but has still taken a back seat to studies in modern medicine. Newer research concerning the benefits of massage therapy is limited, however, the NCCAM is backing studies by medical professionals who are working to understand its effect on the body that include looking at the benefits of foot massage for colon surgery patients.
