What effects does massage therapy have on mental health?

While there haven't been many famous studies about massage therapy and mental health, practically speaking, they seem to go together. Stress plays a huge part in the development and continuation of mental illnesses. There are theories, in fact, that believe stress is a main trigger for someone to start showing signs of a mental illness that otherwise wouldn't manifest (the "diathesis-stress" model). In addition, many mental health providers suggest relaxation as a way to help combat mental illness. Since massage tends to reduce stress, this could (in theory) help prevent mental illnesses or help ease them. In addition, this is a period of interaction each week (or month or set time period) and the client must develop a relationship of trust with the massage therapist, leading the client to have at least one beneficial and strong relationship in their life, which is also shown to have a positive effect on mental health.
