The main question\[s\] it aims to answer \[is/are\]:
* Evaluating the efficacy of TM on burnout
* Evaluating the efficacy of TM on anxiety
* Evaluating the efficacy of TM on affect
* Evaluating the efficacy of TM on musculoskeletal disorders Researchers will compare 2 groups : Control group of paramedics who do not have the benefit of TM breaks and an experimental group of paramedics taking TM break.
Participants in the experimental group received one 15-minute TM session per week for 6 weeks and burnout, anxiety, affect, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) will be assessed in participants using questionnaires at different times of the study. Participants in the control group complete only the same questionnaires at the same times as the experimental group.
Participants in the 2 arms are reviewed at 3 and 6 months to complete the questionnaires.

Study Groups

Touch massage
Participants receive 6 Touch Massage sessions, given once a week for 6 weeks by one of the Touch Massage practitioners
Touch Massage
The practitioner performs the touch-massage for 15 minutes on clothed personnel in a seated position on an ergonomic massage chair. The massage focuses on the back, neck and arm areas. It's a precise, technical sequence of pressure, stretching and sweeping movements that follows the following pattern:
* Basic anti-stress maneuvers to relieve tension,
* Relaxation of the upper torso with weightless movements to loosen shoulders and arms,
* Stretching,
* Redynamization through rapid friction on the back.
Burnout, anxiety, affect, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) will be assessed in participants using the following questionnaires at different times of the study.
Without Touch massage
Participants will not receive any Touch Massage sessions for the duration of the study.
No interventions assigned to this group
