- People are becoming more and more aware of the many benefits

in pain are turning to rigorous massage regimen - Plagued
by chronic back pain since a car accident seven years ago,

Associate Professor of Paediatrics at Brown Medical School
and director of Paediatric Sleep Disorders Clinic at Hasbro
Children’s Hospital in Rhode Island, United States.
