Heart rate, the number of times the heart beats per minute, is a vital sign often used to gauge general health and fitness levels. It's influenced by various factors, including physical activity, stress, and overall health status. Massage therapy can influence heart rate, primarily by promoting relaxation and stress reduction, which in turn can lead to a slower and more regulated heart rate (Field, 2010).

Stress is a significant health concern that can contribute to a range of physical and psychological problems, including heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, and depression. Massage therapy has been widely recognized as an effective technique for reducing stress and promoting relaxation (Field, 2010).

Customized massage therapy on a regular basis is beneficial to a wide variety of people, delivering a large range physiological benefits.
