The goal of this hybrid implementation-effectiveness study is to learn about the effectiveness and appropriateness of \"Trauma-Informed and Culturally-Responsive Integrated Massage Therapy\" (TCI-Massage) for torture and war trauma survivors. The study aims are: • Examine the uptake of TCI-Massage within CVT by assessing key implementation science outcomes of acceptability and appropriateness among refugees and asylum seekers from diverse cultural backgrounds. • Examine the integration of massage therapy into the current psychosocial care model used at CVT. • Examine the effectiveness of TCI-Massage for torture and war trauma survivors to reduce distress (mental health symptoms, chronic pain, and HRV) and improve coping (interoceptive awareness and social functioning). Treatment group participants will participate in psychosocial care services + TCI-Massage, which the control group will only participate in psychosocial care services
