Research has indicated that a wide variety of conditions can benefit from massage. Some include; post traumatic stress, stress, anxiety, ADD, Autism, cocaine addiction, Bulimia, anorexia nervosa, and depression. However, it would be of limited use, if any, on an acute in-patient unit. You can probably determine for yourself where it might be beneficial in such an environment.

Has anyone worked on an inpatient psychiatric unit or in a behavioral health facility, or have you heard of one, that uses massage therapy on the unit? Is there any literature or studies on this topic, or any source material that you can refer me to? Thanks! acat
