Summary

This study looks at how different amounts of manual pressure on the upper back affect heart rate, stress hormones, and pain sensitivity in healthy adults aged 18-65. Ninety participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sustained pressure, kneading, or three different massage techniques. The goal is to understand how the body responds to pressure so that future therapies can be safer and more personalized.
