Is Robot/AI massage in the future? What are your thoughts? Would you get a massage by a robot?

🤖💆‍♂️ Manual vs. Robotic Massage: Can AI Touch Relax the Nervous System?

Manual massage has long been valued for promoting relaxation, pain relief, and overall wellness. But can robotic or AI-assisted massage achieve similar benefits?

📊 A French study (Sports Health) compared the effects of manual massage (MM) by a skilled therapist with robotic massage (RM) on hamstring and lumbopelvic flexibility, nervous system activity, and psychophysiological well-being.

🔑 Key Findings

Nervous System Response: Both MM and RM reduced sympathetic activity (via skin conductance), but the drop was stronger after manual massage.

Relaxation & Well-being: Both groups reported reduced tension, pain relief, warmth, and improved well-being. MM added extra benefits in mood and anxiety reduction.

Cognitive Boost: Surprisingly, both forms of massage improved performance in mental calculation tasks.

Therapist Perspective: Manual massage led to greater therapist fatigue and tension, while robotic massage offered potential to reduce workload in clinical settings.

Flexibility: No significant changes were found in hamstring or lumbopelvic flexibility for either group.

🌍 Why This Matters

Robotic massage may not fully replicate the depth of human touch, but it shows promise as an AI-assisted tool to support therapists, especially where healthcare resources are stretched. The study suggests that hybrid approaches—human skill combined with robotic support—might represent the future of manual therapy.
