Abstract
College students are exposed to multiple stress factors that are unavoidable due to the nature of their environment. Stress is known to have severe negative effects on the mental health of college students. Everyone experiences different stressors and it is evident that they handle stress differently. Stress management is now a concern as not many students are aware of the resources available to them or they simply do not have easy access. Due to the popularity of massage therapy, officials at institutions like Harvard University have used massage therapy in as a means of stress management. This has sparked an interest as students have indicated that they would like to know more about massage therapy as a means of stress management.
