0 CONCLUSION:

From all the three journals that we have referred, we believed that massage

therapy has advantages women in labour both physically and emotionally. All of our

reference journals have proven that, based on their result findings, massage therapy

has the potential to be an effective means in management of pain during childbirth,

supporting our initial views on the therapy. These journals had stated that massage

therapy is easy to apply, have no side effect, reduces stress and anxiety during labour

and also decreases labour duration. The therapy has been demonstrated to be a good

intervention during labor, significantly decrease cortisol level hence reducing excessive

fetal activity. Thus,our group fully support massage therapy as one of the best

interventions for pain management during labour pain.
