Can massage be an alternative to medication?

Hi,

Just wanted to share this visualisation on different massage techniques

http://pearllondon.co.uk/Prepare-Massage/index.htm


This gives a good guide to quality massage techniques, so I just wondered whether any members have found massage to be an alternative to medication?

Is massage just one way to remove pain, or can it completely remove chronic back pain?

What do people think?

Thanks,
