Interventions/Control_1

A 20-min whole-body Japanese Anma massage session (excluding face, breasts, and abdomen) was administered once a week for 2 months (8 sessions total). Anma massage therapy is a form of Japanese massage therapy that is performed by comfortable stimulation without pain through the clothing. During a massage, the therapist remains aware that their hands are in close contact with the massage recipient's body. Additionally, the therapist speaks in a soft voice and informs the massage recipient to recognize what part of the body is touched/pressed/kneaded and how strongly.
