Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to verify relaxation effects experienced by skilled tactile care practitioners. The study method consisted of comparisons in physiological and psychological indices between treatment, where the practitioners performed 30 minutes of tactile care, and control, where practitioners sat for 30 minutes without performing tactile care. Results showed that treatment led to a significant activation in the parasympathetic nerves and a significant decrease in the sympathetic nerve activities compared to control during the study. The saliva immunoglobulin A level significantly increased and the degree of oxidation in oxidation-reduction potential significantly decreased after treatment compared to after control. Moreover, activity, stability, and comfort level were significantly greater on the two-dimensional mood scale after treatment. These results objectively verified that skilled practitioners themselves can achieve a relaxation effect by performing tactile care.
