There are literally hundreds of references to massage contributing to the release of endorphins on web sites on the worldwide web. However, when it comes to valid, reliable, double blind studies, evidence is severely lacking. Despite the lack of research, the positive benefits of endorphins on health are indisputable.

The Study of endorphins and their impact on the human body is very recent. Scientists discovered endorphins ("endogenous morphine") in the mid-seventies, and found that these neurotransmitters in the brain have pain-relieving properties similar to morphine. There are three major types of endorphins: beta-endorphins, found primarily in the pituitary gland; and enkephalins and dynorphin, both distributed throughout the nervous system. When endorphins attach to opiate receptor neurons, they reduce the intensity of pain in the human body by naturally block pain signals produced by the nervous system.
