EXPERT IN TOUCH THERAPY

A massage can be like medicine.

That's according to Dr. Tiffany Field, Dean of the Mailman Family and School Center at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL. She also oversees the university's newly established Touch Research Institute and Wellness Center.

If you are ever interested in examining the topic of touch research, Field can be a useful source. She is the author of over 300 journal papers. Her research has shown that touch therapy enhances growth in preterm infants, reduces stress in child psychiatric patients, increases alertness, and increases performance in adults. It also increases immune function in HIV men.
