A website covering pain has a feature about the effectiveness of massages in reducing back pain. The feature referred to a report about a study, in which patients with back pain were given a series of ten back massages. The sessions were free. More than half of the patients recorded improvements that could be measured. The researchers said there needed to be more studies. The account notes that massage is not insured, questioning whether people will pay for this treatment.
