◼ 2. In-depth meaning of the act of 'touching'
● Sense and brain
The senses that a person receives through the skin, they don't just end up in the epidermis.
Mechanical water containers, temperature water containers, and barrel water containers distributed on the skin combine with the spinal cord to transmit signals to the limbic system of the cerebrum.
Here, 'touching' helps the brain learn safety, stability, and solidarity.
● oxytocin and serotonin
Oxytocin, which is secreted during massage, is called a "trust hormone" and inhibits stress hormones (cortisol).
Serotonin relieves depression, converts to melatonin, and helps sleep.
The fact that massage is effective in stabilizing emotions, improving sleep, and reducing anxiety is not simply a matter of mood, but a physiological and neurochemical mechanism.

◼ 6. Anatomical and physiological depth
Let me explain the process of massage working on muscles step by step.
I feel the fine tone of myofibrils with my hands.
Apply mechanical deformation with appropriate pressure and cycle.
Use viscoelasticity of the fascia and connective tissue to release the adhesion.
Increased interstitial fluid movement between tissues → waste and lactic acid excretion.
Stimulation of neuroreceptors → pain suppression in spinal cord (gate control).
Parasympathetic nerve activity → Stabilization of heart rate and respiratory rate, and promotion of digestion and recovery.
This process is not just a 'blister', but a complex physiological phenomenon in which muscles, nerves, blood vessels, lymph, and autonomic nervous systems react organically.
◼ 7. Industry, Science, and Future

Education and remote coaching using VR and AR,
It will be expanded to special forces customized massage such as the disabled, the elderly, and mothers.
