After receiving a 10-minute foot massage each day for two weeks, people with dementia and a history of agitation immediately showed a significant decrease in agitated behavior, according to recent research. In addition, the reduction in
agitated behavior remained significant two weeks after the massage intervention had ended.
The full research report of "Foot Massage Decreases Agitation in Dementia Patients," ran in the print edition of MASSAGE Magazine's December 2011 issue.
