| Research Abstract |
In this study, a new massage technique was developed, and its effects to activate the oral function and promote relaxation were examined.Immediately after an oral, craniocervical, and facial massage using this technique, mouth opening improved, with more flexible masticatory muscles during contraction.In addition, decreases in the heart rate and systolic blood pressure were observed as relaxation-related responses during massage.Based on these results and subjects'statements that their tension and feelings of fatigue decreased after massage, the new technique is likely to be useful for relaxation.
