Positive Massage Programme for Wellbeing
The Positive Massage Programme is an evidence based research project being undertaken by Sayuri M Naruse, a visiting researcher at Northumbria University. Her current research focus is on the effect of non-professional massage on stress-coping mechanisms and wellbeing among couples. She believes that her research will benefit wellbeing among a wide range of population groups by a cost-effective, relationship-focused intervention that serves as a useful tool for 'selves-care' (a new term coined by Sayuri, defined as health activity to simultaneously care for a loved one and oneself).
