Research Progress on the Mechanism of Massage in Regulating Immune Function

Abstract

Massage, as a non-invasive and natural therapy, acts on specific parts of the human body through manual techniques to regulate organ function, unblock meridians, promote qi circulation and blood circulation, demonstrating a positive regulatory effect on immune function. This article comprehensively analyzes the positive effects of massage on the activity of immune cells, regulation of immune molecule secretion, improvement of immune organ function, and the immune system. Research has revealed that massage may exert its effects through various mechanisms such as neuroendocrine immune regulation, cellular signaling pathways, oxidative stress and antioxidant balance, non coding RNA regulation, and microbial community regulation. Intended to provide scientific basis for further research and clinical application of massage therapy.
