Wikipedia isn't a list every study with a positive outcome. It would be much better if the long strings of WP:Citation overkill were replaced by one or two citations to of the best journal articles. Ideally, we'd be able to name a recent narrative review or a systematic review (or perhaps a widely used graduate-level textbook) to support these points.

FYI, I have already done a preliminary search for reviews and the current section is much, much too rosy as far as what massage has been shown to do (basically it relieves anxiety, and maybe relieves pain). I haven't had a lot of free time to re-write this article, though it is near the top of my to-do list. Yobol (talk) 17:56, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
