Summary

This study looked at whether a 45-minute massage once a week for 4 weeks could improve mood and daily function in new mothers. 28 women within 6 months of giving birth took part. The goal was to see if massage, a drug-free option, could reduce depression and help mothers manage personal care, baby care, and other activities.
